Patent ID: 7946732

Claim:
An LED lamp assembly comprising: a planar circuit board having a substantially greater length and width than thickness, and having a first major side and a second major side, and the circuit board having a tongue end; at least one LED mounted on a major side of the circuit board; a sliding electrical contact extending on the tongue end; electrical circuitry supported on the circuit board and coupling the at least one LED to the sliding electrical contact; a first heat sink having a planar face sized and shaped to substantially span and fit, side by side, to a major side of the circuit board, the first heat sink including recesses or openings of sufficient size and shape to mechanically accommodate any adjacent electrical components formed on the circuit board, and including at least one recess receiving the at least one LED and permitting the transmission of light from the at least one LED to the exterior of the lamp assembly, the planar face of the first heat sink being mechanically positioned to be in close thermal contact with a major side of the circuit board; the circuit board and the first heat sink forming an axially extending body having substantially greater length and width than thickness; and the tongue end and the sliding electrical contact extending beyond the periphery of the first heat sink to be exposed for electrical connection.
