In particular, in the case that the light source substrate is arranged outside the housing, the pins can at least in a guided through the housing portion of be surrounded by electrical insulation to prevent electrical connection to the housing.
Es ist ferner eine Ausgestaltung, dass das Verschlusselement zur DurchfĆ¼hrung mindestens einer elektrischen Verbindung mindestens eine Durchkontaktierung aufweist und die It is further an embodiment that the closure element for performing at least one electrical connection has at least one via and the
Treiberplatine mindestens eine (n) Federkontakt (einrichtung) zur elektrischen Kontaktierung einer Durchkontaktierung des Verschlusselements aufweist. Driver board at least one (n) spring contact (device) for electrically contacting a through-connection of the closure element.
