Abstract: An electrical connector is provided for connecting a light emitting diode (LED) to a driver. The electrical connector includes a housing, a driver input contact held by the housing and configured to be electrically connected to a power output of the driver, and an LED output contact held by the housing and configured to be electrically connected to a power input of the LED. An electrical path is defined between the driver input contact and the LED output contact for supplying electrical power from the driver to the power input of the LED. The electrical connector includes a temperature monitor and control (TMC) module operatively connected to a temperature sensor for receiving a temperature associated with the LED. The TMC module is configured to control the flow of electrical power from the driver input contact to the LED output contact based on the temperature received from the temperature sensor.

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 connector assembly is configured to be mounted to a substrate that has an opening extending between a mounting side and an opposite side. The connector assembly includes a housing and one or more contacts. The housing has a front end and a back end, with an interior chamber extending inward from a mating interface. The front end of the housing is configured to be partially inserted through the opening in the substrate until a housing mounting surface engages the mounting side of the substrate. The contact extends between a mating end and a contact mounting surface. The contact mounting surface is configured to be mounted to the mounting side of the substrate. The housing and contact mounting surfaces are substantially coplanar in a mourning plane, and a distance between the mating interface and the mounting plane is at least as great as a thickness of the substrate.
