1. A socket assembly comprising:
- a light emitting diode (LED) package having an LED printed circuit board (PCB) and a power pad disposed on the LED PCB;
a base frame having a base mounted to a support structure and a spring finger extending from the base, the spring finger directly contacting the LED PCB and configured to apply a clamping force to the LED PCB that acts in a direction toward the support structure;
an isolator frame mounted to the support structure; and
an electrical contact having an LED contact directly contacting and electrically connected to the power pad of the LED PCB, the electrical contact disposed within the isolator frame such that the isolator frame electrically isolates the base frame from the electrical contact, the isolator frame is disposed between the base frame and the electrical contact in a direction extending perpendicular to a plane defined by the LED PCB.

Abstract
A socket assembly is disclosed. The socket assembly includes a light emitting diode (LED) package having an LED printed circuit board (PCB), a base frame, an isolator frame, and an electrical contact. The base frame has a base mounted to a support structure and a spring finger extending from the base, the spring finger applying a clamping force to the LED PCB that acts in a direction toward the support structure. The isolator frame is mounted to the support structure. The electrical contact is electrically connected to the LED PCB and disposed within the isolator frame, such that the isolator frame electrically isolates the base frame from the electrical contact.
