Abstract:
Circuit boards for lighting systems have identical LED landing zones printed on the board. Each zone includes at least two sets of LED contact pads. One pad set is configured to mate with contacts of an LED of a first structural type, e.g. from a first product line or manufacturer. The other pad set is configured to mate with contacts of an LED of a second type, e.g. from a different product line or manufacturer. The layout may enable an easy system re-design, e.g. to shift from one type of LED to another. Alternatively, the layout may enable one system to use LEDs of the two different types in a single LED set or array. Exemplary systems disclosed herein include an element for mixing light produced by LEDs mounted to the landing zones, such as an optical integrating cavity.
Abstract:
With a mounting structure for an IC tag where an IC chip for mounting (10) is mounted so as to be electrically connected to antenna patterns (44a), (44b), the assembly process that mounts the IC chip for mounting (10) on the antenna patterns (44a), (44b) is simplified, which makes it possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of IC tags. The IC chip for mounting 10 is formed by winding conductive wires (12a), (12b) so as to encircle an outer surface of an IC chip (20) between two opposite edges of the IC chip (20) in a state where the conductive wires (12a), (12b) mechanically contact electrodes formed on the IC chip (20) and are electrically connected to the electrodes, so that the IC chip for mounting (10) is joined to the antenna patterns (44a), (44b) via the conductive wires (12a), (12b).

Abstract:
Novel arrangements are disclosed that provide for replacement of printed circuit boards useful in regulating current for LEDs. In one embodiment, a conductive track is disclosed that forms a pattern for placement of electrical components. The track can be made out of any suitably conductive material and may be stamped, cut, or formed depending on the material type. The conductive track can conduct both electricity and heat. Portions of the conductive track can be removed creating a gap. Electrical components can be placed along the conductive track spanning the gap to create a circuit path. Other embodiments include wiring harnesses that contain embedded electrical components. The harnesses may occupy less space than some embodiments of the conductive track. An electrical connector may be provided to allow easy replacement of the LED.

Abstract:
An LED light module assembly for use with high power, high light output LED's includes a thin flexible circuit board with surface mounted LED's and other electronic components which is attached to a metal heat sink using a layer of a thermally conductive adhesive, such as a thermally conductive epoxy adhesive. A conduction path is provided from the LED carrier through the flexible circuit board by the incorporation of one or more thermally conductive vias in the region of the attachment pad used to bond the LED to the flexible circuit board. These vias provide a conduction path from the back side of the LED carrier through the circuit board to the thermally conductive adhesive and heat sink. The LED light module assembly has the capacity to dissipate between about 10-14 W of power without exceeding a maximum LED junction temperature of about 125° C.

Abstract:
In a two-pole SMT miniature housing in leadframe technique for semiconductor components, a semiconductor chip is mounted on one leadframe part and is contacted to a further leadframe part. The further leadframe part is conducted out of the housing in which the chip is encapsulated as a solder terminal. No trimming or shaping process is required and the housing is tight and is capable of further miniaturization. The solder terminals as punched parts of the leadframe are conducted projecting laterally from the housing sidewalls residing opposite one another at least up to the housing floor which forms the components' mounting surface. The chip mounting surface and the components' mounting surface form a right angle with one another.
