    Abstract: An LED apparatus is provided in which at least one LED is simply and reliably mounted. LEDs are connected mechanically, electrically, and thermally within a lighting assembly. An LED comprises an emission layer on a substrate such as a circuit board. The circuit board is both an LED support and a conductor for connection to LED terminals. A frame has a cutout receiving the printed circuit board. The frame is fastenable to a heat dissipating surface. The cutout also defines cantilevered beams cut out within the surface of the frame. The cantilevered beams surround the LED to distribute force across the LED. The circuit board includes copper vias providing power to terminals on the LED. The terminals may be soldered to the power contact without the need for additional wiring.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a printed circuit board has a hole. The hole has a longest extent on a surface of the printed circuit board. A clip is held in the hole by feet of prongs. The feet are extensions each having a length that is more than half the longest extent of the hole. A heat sink is held, in part, relative to the printed circuit board by the clip. A part of the heat sink contacts a loop of the clip and applies a force on the clip directed away from the printed circuit board. The feet of the clip on an opposite side of the printed circuit board than the heat sink hold the clip to the printed circuit board to counteract the force. The prongs are configured to offset the feet such that the extensions overlap with the lengths extending along the longest extent of the hole by less than a sum of the lengths of the feet and less than the longest extent for insertion through the hole.
