Abstract
A tape light termination system includes a terminal in a housing. The terminal includes an electrically conducting contact area and a termination lug to fixedly connect an electric conductor with the terminal and provide an electrically conducting path between the termination lug and the contact point. The housing includes compartments sized to receive and hold the terminal, and slots which are positioned and dimensioned to receive opposing edges of a light emitting diode (LED) tape light. The LED tape light includes a flexible strip having LED diode circuitry and an electrically conductive pad on the planar surface. Each of the slots provide access in the housing to the electrically conductive contact area and alignment of the electrically conducting contact area of the terminal to contiguously contact the electrically conductive pad and enable a current flow path therebetween.
