  • Publication number: 20080311767
    Abstract: A surface mount header is shown which may be mounted to a surface of a printed circuit board, where pins project away from the board. Alternatively, the surface mount header may be connected to a surface of a printed circuit board with the pins projecting downwardly through an opening in the board. Insulative sleeves surround the pins in order to protect the pins from contact with conductive paths within the board.

  • Publication number: 20080274641
    Abstract: A universal mounting supports high intensity LEDs in a lighting fixture with heat removal and electrical connection facilities. A holder includes a peripheral sidewall defining a cavity for accepting a printed circuit board assembly. A support member supports the printed circuit board assembly along the peripheral sidewall. Electrical contact elements are provided the printed circuit board. A thermal conduction member is in thermal communication with the printed circuit board assembly. The receptacle portion removably engages with the holder portion. A plurality of contact sockets conductively engages the electrical contact elements of the holder portion to interconnect the contact elements to external wires. An aperture in the receptacle portion accepts the thermal conduction member, wherein the thermal conduction member passes through the aperture and into a space for dissipating heat from the printed circuit board.

  • Patent number: 5920459
    Abstract: An electrical housing (12) for a circuit board assembly (14) comprises interfitting upper and lower housing members (16,18) along which the circuit board assembly is disposed when the housing members are fitted and secured together. One end of the housing members (16,18) has connector-receiving recesses (50,58) in which an electrical connector (88) on the circuit board assembly is disposed for positioning the circuit board assembly longitudinally relative to the housing members. Vertical positioning members (26,68) on the housing members are provided for vertically positioning the circuit board assembly within the housing members. Jack screw-positioning members (32,34,40;74,76,78) are provided by the housing members (16,18) for positioning jack screws (46) within the housing members (16,18) and maintaining the jack screws therein so that they are captured therein.
