Patent number: 11129276Abstract: A socket assembly comprises a base frame formed of a thermally conductive material holding a light emitting diode (LED) package to a support structure, a contact element electrically contacting the LED package, and an isolator PCB. The LED package includes an LED PCB having an LED mounted on the LED PCB. The base frame includes a base mounted to the support structure and mechanically engaging the LED PCB so that the LED package is attached to the support structure with a predetermined holding force. The contact element electrically connects the isolator PCB to the LED PCB. The isolator PCB supplies electrical power to the LED. The isolator PCB has a first surface and a second surface; the second surface is in heat transmitting contact with the base frame and the electronic component is disposed on the first surface of the isolator PCB and electrically connected to the LED.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2018Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignees: TE Connectivity Nederland BV, Tyco Electronics UK LtdInventors: Jeroen Iedema, Olaf Leijnse, Peter Poorter, Jonathan Catchpole
