Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A light assembly for a hand-held medical diagnostic instrument. The light assembly includes a substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface, a light source mounted to the top surface, and the bottom surface having first and second electrical terminals. The light assembly further includes a circuit board disposed inclined to the substrate, the circuit board having first and second electrical terminals, a first connector mounting and electrically connecting the first electrical terminal of the substrate to the first electrical terminal of the circuit board, a second connector mounting and electrically connecting the second electrical terminal of the substrate to the second electrical terminal of the circuit board, a heat sink, and a thermal conductor thermally connecting at least one of the first and second electrical terminals of the substrate to the heat sink.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A light assembly for a handheld medical instrument, comprising: a thermally conductive housing defining an open end; a substrate disposed proximate the open end, the substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface; a light source mounted to the top surface of the substrate; an electrical terminal disposed on the bottom surface of the substrate, wherein the housing is thermally connected to the terminal to remove heat…
