Publication number: 20080137377Abstract: The present invention relates to a light emitting diode (LED) light engine. The LED light engine includes at least one LED, the at least one LED having at least one first electrical terminal and at least one second electrical terminal. The LED light engine further includes an electrical cable having a first conductor and a second conductor, the at least one LED being secured to the first conductor by a first insulation displacement connector (IDC) and to the second conductor by a second IDC. The first IDC includes at least one socket for receiving the at least one first electrical terminal and a piercing portion for displacing the insulating portion and electrically contacting the first conductor of the electrical cable. The second IDC includes at least one socket for receiving the second terminal of the at least one LED and a piercing portion for displacing the insulating portion and contacting the second conductor of the electrical cable.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2006Publication date: June 12, 2008Applicant: GELcore, LLCInventors: Ronald K.
