Abstract: A jumper connector for connecting lighting components to one another includes a connector body having a mating surface configured to engage more than one lighting component, where the connector body is configured to be secured to a substrate by a fastener. The jumper connector also includes a conductor held by the body, wherein the conductor is configured to be electrically connected to more than one lighting component during the same manufacturing step in which the connector body is secured to the substrate.

Abstract: An end cap assembly for a light tube that has a circuit board with one or more solid state lighting devices mounted thereto and a lens covering the circuit board includes an end cap body having a lens engagement surface configured to engage the lens and an external mating interface configured to mate with a socket connector of a fixture. An end cap connector extends from the end cap body. The end cap connector holds contacts having first mating portions configured to be electrically connected to the circuit board and second mating portions configured to be electrically connected to the socket connector.

Abstract: An electrical connector for supplying power to a circuit board or the like. The electrical connector has a housing with contact receiving cavities extending from a wire-receiving face to a mating face. Alignment cavities are positioned adjacent the contact receiving cavities and extend from the mating face toward the wire-receiving face. Contacts are positioned in the contact receiving cavities. Each contact has a wire-receiving portion and a contact section. The wire-receiving portion has power wires terminated thereto, and the contact section is positioned in the contact receiving cavities proximate the mating face. A connector latch arm extends from the housing and has a latch projection provided proximate the mating face of the housing. The latch projection is movable relative to the housing.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a grounding clip which can provide an electrical connection between a ground wire, a first panel and a second panel. The grounding clip has a wire terminating section for terminating a grounding wire thereto, a first panel receiving portion for terminating a first panel therein, and a second panel receiving portion for terminating a second panel therein.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes a housing and a contact. The housing extends from a front end to an opposite back end. The housing includes an interior chamber inwardly extending from the front end that is configured to receive a mating connector through the front end of the housing. The contact is joined with the housing and extends between a mating end and a mounting surface. The mating end is configured to engage a mating contact of the mating connector. The mounting surface is configured to be mounted to a substrate to electrically couple the mating connector with the substrate. The housing extends through an opening in the substrate such that the housing protrudes from opposite sides of the substrate.

Abstract: A LED module and interconnection system is disclosed. The LED module includes a lens, a housing, and a printed circuit board PCB having at least on LED disposed within the housing. The housing includes a plurality of openings providing physical and electrical access to the PCB. The interconnection system includes at least one LED module and a cable assembly. The cable assembly is configured to provide electrical connectivity to the LED module through an opening in the LED module housing.

Abstract: An electrical connector for connecting a cable to a card edge interface has a housing portion. The housing portion has a first surface, and a second surface opposite said first surface, and the surfaces are spaced apart to define a housing portion slot for the card edge interface. Furcated contact elements are disposed within the housing. Each contact element has a first tine portion with an exposed contact interface portion, a second tine portion; a web portion connecting the first and second tine portions, and a wire termination portion for terminating a conductor of the cable. The first and second tine portions are arranged within the housing portion with the contact interface exposed for mating with a respective contact surface of the card edge interface.
