LED lighting assemblies
First Claim
1. A lighting assembly comprising:
- a base having a top surface and a bottom surface;
an LED package mounted to the base, the LED package comprising a mounting substrate and an LED chip on a top of the mounting substrate, the mounting substrate having power leads on the top of the mounting substrate arranged proximate to a first edge of the mounting substrate;
power contacts defining separable interfaces for contacting the power leads on the mounting substrate of the LED package and supplying power to the LED chip, the power contacts having compliant beams extending to the separable interfaces, the compliant beams being deflected when contacting the power leads such that the power contacts are biased against the power leads, the power contacts being terminated to corresponding power conductors opposite the separable interfaces; and
a dielectric housing holding the power contacts, the housing having mounting features for securing the housing to the base independent of the LED package.

Abstract
A lighting assembly for a light emitting diode (LED) package having an LED chip on the top of a mounting substrate with power leads on the top of the mounting substrate arranged proximate to a first edge of the mounting substrate, which is mounted to a base, includes power contacts defining separable interfaces for contacting the power leads on the mating substrate of the LED package and supplying power to the LED chip. The power contacts have compliant beams extending to the separable interfaces that are deflected when contacting the power leads such that the power contacts are biased against the power leads. The power contacts are terminated to corresponding power conductors opposite the separable interfaces. The lighting assembly also includes a dielectric housing holding the power contacts, with the housing having mounting features for securing the housing to the base independent of the LED package.
