  • METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A METAL CLAD CIRCUIT BOARD
    Publication number: 20140141548
    Abstract: A metal clad circuit board includes a metal substrate. A dielectric layer is applied to the metal substrate. A conductive seed layer is printed on the dielectric layer. A conductive circuit layer is plated onto the conductive seed layer. Optionally, the conductive seed layer may be inkjet printed on the dielectric layer. Alternatively, the conductive seed layer may be pad printed on the dielectric layer. Optionally, the dielectric layer may be powder coated to the metal substrate. The dielectric layer may include polymers and fillers compression molded to the metal substrate. Optionally, the conductive circuit layer may be electroplated to the conductive seed layer. Optionally, a solder mask may be applied over the conductive circuit layer.

  • SSL budgeting and coding system for lighting assembly
    Patent number: 8513955
    Abstract: A lighting assembly includes a lighting module labeled with an indicator. The lighting module indicator is indicative of electrical capacities of the lighting module. A driver is provided to power the lighting module. The driver is labeled with an indicator indicative of electrical capacities of the driver. The lighting module indicator and the driver indicator are compared to determine whether the driver has electrical capacities that enable the driver to power the lighting module. A cable electrically couples the driver and the lighting module. The cable has an indicator indicative of electrical capacities of the cable. The cable indicator is compared to the driver indicators and the lighting module indicator to determine whether the cable has electrical capacities that enable the cable to convey power from the driver to the lighting module.
