Patent ID: 10390400

Abstract:
A soft start circuit device couples at the junction between a 0-10 volt DC dimmer and an LED driver. A first wire couples with the positive polarity dimmer output, and a second wire couples with the negative polarity dimmer output. A capsule provides electrical insulation and physical consolidation and isolation to the capsule interior, and the first and second wires each pass through the capsule wall into the capsule interior. A capacitor and resistor are retained in the capsule interior and are each electrically coupled in parallel across the first and second wires. A sealant fills the capsule interior. At least one indicium is affixed with each wire, to indicate proper polarity connection with the 0-10 volt DC dimmer output. The capsule may further comprise a generally cylindrical and light transmissive polycarbonate packaging tube, and first and second end caps. The sealant may also comprise a light transmissive silicone sealant.
