  • Radially symmetric electrical connector
    Patent number: 10941930
    Abstract: A light assembly is provided with a circuit board, a connector and a first light emitting device. The circuit board is formed with a first conductive path and a second conductive path. The connector is supported by the circuit board and includes a first terminal connected to the first conductive path and at least two second terminals connected to the second conductive path. The at least two second terminals are arranged radially symmetrical about an axis and are adapted to engage mating terminals of a mating connector when the mating connector is oriented in both a first position and in a second position that is angularly offset from the first position about the axis. The first light emitting device is supported by the circuit board and in electrical communication with the first conductive path and the second conductive path.
