Patent ID: 8018136

Claim:
An LED connector assembly for a lighting fixture comprising: a first substrate comprising at least one LED mounted thereon, and a plurality of contact pads in electrical communication with the at least one LED; a contact carrier comprising a plurality of integral electrical contact portions arranged about a perimeter of the contact carrier, the plurality of integral electrical contact portions corresponding to the plurality of electrical contact pads of the first substrate; a second substrate comprising electronic components configured to power the at least one LED, a first contact arrangement configured to engage the integral electrical contact portions of the contact carrier, and a second contact arrangement for external connections to the electronic components; and a heat sink portion retentively engageable in thermal communication with the carrier and the first substrates wherein the heat sink further comprises: a first pair of channels to direct the second substrate into electrical communication with a first pair of contact portions of the plurality of integral electrical contact portions; and a second pair of channels to direct the second substrate into electrical communication with a second pair of contact portions of the plurality of integral electrical contact portions; and wherein the first pair of channels is offset from the second pair of channels approximately 30° axial rotation, and the second substrate is selectively insertable in either of the first pair of channels or the second pair of channels.
