Patent ID: 7762829

Claim:
An assembly for use with miniature electronic components, comprising a miniature LED, the miniature LED including a heat pad and power pads; an optical reflector having a preselected geometry to direct light in a direction determined by the geometry, the reflector further including a raised pad connected to a reflector body by a plurality of arms that form apertures in the reflector, the raised pad configured to engage the heat pad on the LED; a lens having a preselected geometry that matches the geometry of the optical reflector, the lens including a plurality of latches that extend between the arms and through the apertures of the optical reflector, the reflector capturing the LED between the reflector and the lens, while exerting a force on the LED to maintain the LED heat pad in contact with the reflector raised pad; a connector back having two sides and housing at least two power contacts extending from the sides, the power contacts supported to minimize movement in the connector back, the connector back further including a plurality of apertures corresponding to the lens latches, the power contacts connected to a power source on one side; wherein the plurality of lens latches further engaging the plurality of apertures in the connector back to capture the lens, urging the LED power pads against the power contacts; and wherein the plurality of arms provide a path for the conduction of heat from the LED through the LED heat pad to the reflector, the reflector functioning as a heat sink to transfer heat from the LED.
