Embodiment Construction

[0037] refer to Figure 1A and Figure 1B , shows an alternative perspective view of the multi-board power connector 1 . The multi-board power connector 1 includes a housing 10 and a plurality of insertion points 12, the housing 10 defining an inner space. Such as Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown in , each insertion point 12 is sized to receive a corresponding circuit board 14 that includes two contacts 16, 18 (see, for example, FIG. 2- image 3 ). Two rails, a first rail 20 and a second rail 22 , may be provided within the housing 10 . (for example, in image 3 The first rail 20 and the second rail 22 can be seen in the housing 10 in the exploded view of .

[0038] The first rail 20 and the second rail 22 are complementary but electrically isolated from each other - each rail 20, 22 is configured to carry an opposite charge to the other rail, the charge being received from the driver. For example, the first rail 20 may be configured to carry a positive charge and the...

Abstract

A multiboard power connector (1) including a housing with a plurality of insertion points to receive multiple circuit boards. The circuit boards, received into the insertion points (12), come into electrical contact with two rails, the rails carrying opposing charges. The rails comprise a first rail and second rail. The first rail defines a longitudinal axis and a first plurality of terminals, while the second rail is divided into at least two portions that are disposed on opposite sides of the first rail, with a second plurality of terminals extending from the two portions. The first plurality of terminals and second plurality of terminals alternate on each side, such that a plurality of terminals, one from each rail, is disposed adjacent to each insertion point. A circuit board, being received at the insertion point, thus contacts one terminal from each rail and thus receives power. This multiboard power connector, as described here and throughout this disclosure, is cheap to make and allows quick attachment of multiple circuit boards to a driver without a multitude of wires.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure is generally directed to a multi-board power connector. Background technique [0002] The use of LEDs has been common in general lighting applications for many years. During this time, problems arose due to the way the LEDs were configured in the luminaire. Currently, on the market, LED arrays are assembled to a PCB (circuit board) with wire connections for solid wire or wire harness connections. Most constructions of luminaires use multiple boards wired to a single driver, as this is the most efficient method for producing LED boards for this application. These builds all have one thing in common: All LED boards require positive and negative connections that are connected to the LED driver wires to provide power. This means that for a multi-board build, at least four wires are required to provide power to all boards. Extrapolated out, a two-by-four luminaire with four boards requires eight wires to be wired between the drive...
