Abstract
A holder is provided to support a light emitting diode (LED) array in position. In an embodiment the holder includes a terminal that is insert-molded into a housing. In an alternative embodiment, a terminal can be stitch into a housing and secured with a shield. In the latter embodiment the holder can be configured to provide a desired amount of electrical isolation between the terminal and potential shorting surfaces so as to meet creepage and clearance requirements, thus allowing the use of additional power supplies.
