  • Patent number: 7997763
    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) lighting device that includes a housing and a heat sink assembly received within the housing. The heat sink assembly includes at least a first heat sink member and at least a second heat sink member. A printed circuit board having at least one LED provided thereon is mounted to both the first heat sink member and the second heat sink member. At least one biasing member biases an outer side of the first heat sink member and an outer side of the second heat sink member into contact with an inner side of the housing. Heat from the at least one LED is transferred through the heat sink assembly to the housing, where it is dissipated into the air.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20030193055
    Abstract: A lighting device having a light emitting diode (LED). The device includes a metal substrate having a surface. A dielectric coating layer is superimposed on the surface of the metal substrate. A light emitting diode (LED) is supported on the dielectric coating layer. The metal substrate serves as a heat sink for the heat emitted by LED during operation.

  • Patent number: 6617520
    Abstract: A circuit device and a method for providing an interface between a circuit device comprised of a porcelain enameled metal substrate and an external electrical conductor such as a wire or a lead. An aperture is formed in the substrate at the location where the connection is desired. An eyelet is then placed in the aperture. Crimping or other means are used to form a mechanical connection to the substrate and causes the eyelet to be retained in the aperture. The wire or lead of an electronic component is then inserted into the eyelet. The wire or lead is then soldered to the eyelet providing a joint of high mechanical strength.
