Abstract
An illumination module is provided that can be inserted into a receptacle with a ramp that includes a wall and may be mounted on a support surface, such as a heat sink, and the illumination module include a cover and an LED assembly rotateably coupled to the cover. The LED assembly seats within the receptacle which causes terminals of the LED assembly to align with contacts on the receptacle. Circuitry is provided in the module that accepts an input voltage and converts the input to a desired driving output. The cover can be rotated relative to the receptacle so as to engage ramps so as to direct the LED assembly into the receptacle. When the LED assembly is attached to the receptacle, the terminals on the LED assembly mate with the contacts on the receptacle.
