TE Connectivity’s new range of low-profile, surface-mount technology (SMT), miniature hermaphroditic connectors is designed to provide power between adjacent linear LED lighting strip modules and enable faster and more efficient connections, by allowing customers to mate and unmate linear LED module strips horizontally and vertically.
The connectors are available in two-, four- and six-position hermaphroditic versions for lighting, data and control connections. They were designed with rounded corners to minimise LED light obstruction, flat-top surfaces for vacuum pickup, and high-temperature material for reflow processing. They are also available with a one-position blade and receptacle for narrow width spacing on LED printed circuit board applications.
The 3 A, 300 V a.c./d.c. rated connectors operate at temperatures between -40°C and 105°C with a 1600 V a.c. dielectric withstanding voltage rating. The housings feature UL 94V0 rated high-temperature resistant thermoplastic material, and contacts are constructed using a high-conductivity copper alloy with tin-over-nickel plating.
The two-position, wire-to-board insert moulded lead assembly is designed to be secured with double-sided, thermally conductive tape. This eliminates the need for latching features or hardware that would increase the overall height and width of the power connection to the linear LED module strip.
The SMT miniature hermaphroditic connectors are best used in applications for architectural and sign lighting, retail and display lighting, fluorescent LED retrofit lighting, cabinet and furniture lighting, and commercial and residential cove lighting.
