  • Patent number: 10367125
    Abstract: Crimping of an LED leadframe to a subassembly may stress the leadframe. Flat leadframes cannot accommodate these stresses. Strain relief sections are added to the leadframe to accommodate crimping or other stresses on the leadframe. Strain relief sections are created in the leadframe in the form of openings, notches or bulges. The strain relief sections may be symmetric or asymmetric.

  • Publication number: 20150162512
    Abstract: Crimping of an LED leadframe to a subassembly may stress the leadframe. Flat leadframes cannot accommodate these stresses. Strain relief sections are added to the flat leadframe to accommodate crimping or other stresses on the leadframe. Strain relief sections are created in the leadframe in the form or openings, notches or bulges. The strain relief sections may be symetric or asymmetric.
