Assignee:

Molex, LLC - Lisle IL

International Classification:

H01R 13/66
G01R 21/06
G01R 15/20

Abstract:

A connector includes a housing that supports a core (which can be magnetic) and provides an inner channel. A power terminal is positioned in the inner channel and provides an electrical path between two opposite sides of the housing. The housing further support a sensor that is positioned in a gap in the core. The housing provides electrical isolation between the core and the power terminal. The connector can therefore provide both a power terminal and the ability to sense current in an integrated design.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

- Lisle, IL, US
Christopher Blount - Naperville IL, US

Assignee:

Molex Incorporated - Lisle IL

International Classification:

H05B 33/08
F21K 99/00

Abstract:

An LED module can be powered by two conductors and the LED module includes a constant current driver. The constant current driver is configured to provide a predetermined current so long as the input voltage provided on the two conductors exceeds a predetermined level. The constant current driver powers an LED string supported by the LED module and can adjust the current to the LED string based on an input signal. A conversion circuit converts the input voltage to an input signal and provides that input signal to the constant current driver so that dimming can be provided while only using two conductors to provide power.
