  • Patent number: 9310066
    Abstract: An electronic component includes a housing, a heat-generating component, a heat sink, and a sealing element. The housing is made of a first metallic material. The heat-generating component is disposed in the housing. The heat sink, which is made of a second metallic material, is disposed adjacent the heat-generating component and configured to dissipate heat from the heat-generating component. The sealing element is disposed between the housing and the heat sink and insulates the second metallic material from the first metallic material.

  • Patent number: 8882532
    Abstract: A driver box includes a housing and a connection mechanism disposed in the housing. The housing is adapted to removably receive a driver adapted to supply electric power to at least one luminaire. The connection mechanism includes an actuator, a first electrical connector configured to be connected to the driver, and a second electrical connector configured to be electrically connected to the at least one luminaire. The actuator is operatively coupled to the second electrical connector. The actuator is movable between an unlocked position, in which the second electrical connector is disengaged from the first electrical connector, and a locked position in which the second electrical connector is in mating engagement with the first electrical connector.

  • Patent number: 6147307
    Abstract: A side insertion trap for cable or wire includes a base and two arms extending from the base to define an opening between the arms for permitting lateral insertion of a cable or wire between the arms. A retention member, such as one or more angled teeth, serves to inhibit motion of the wire or cable between the arms in a direction perpendicular to a lateral insertion direction.
