  • Vehicle reflector assembly with circuit board retention plate
    Patent number: 10704769
    Abstract: A lamp reflector assembly that includes a lamp reflector and a circuit board holder plate. The lamp reflector and the circuit board holder plate each include guide ribs to hold a lamp circuit board in place in the reflector assembly. The board holder plate provides X, Y, Z location of the lamp circuit board as well as visual position verification of the lamp circuit board held in the reflector assembly. Finger tabs protruding from the lamp circuit board through slots in the board holder plate permit repositioning the lamp circuit board so that the lamp circuit board, the board holder plate, and the lamp reflector are properly positioned relative to each other prior to securing the board holder plate to the reflector.
