Patent ID: 7070418

Claim:
A light emitting diode (LED) assembly comprising: a printed circuit board (PCB) having multiple mounting holes defined through the PCB; multiple conductors mounted on the PCB and serving respectively as positive electrode conductors and negative electrode conductors, and each conductor having a contact pin formed perpendicularly on the conductor and extending into one of the mounting holes in the PCB; at least one through hole defined through the conductor and having an inner edge; and at least one set of multiple hooks extending perpendicularly from the inner edge of the at least one through hole in the conductor; and multiple LEDs mounted on the conductors, and each LED mounted on a positive electrode conductor and an adjacent negative electrode conductor and having a die; and two contact tabs made of conductive material, connected to the die, extending out from the LED and serving respectively as a positive electrode and a negative electrode corresponding to adjacent positive and negative electrode conductors, and each contact tab having a through hole defined through the contact tab, and each through hole corresponding to one of the at least one through hole in the corresponding conductor and having an inner edge that the hooks on the corresponding through hole abut and hook.
