Solid state lighting connector
12 May 2010
Interconnection
New from Tyco Electronics is an IDC solid state lighting (SSL) connector for quick, tool-less termination of discrete wires onto LED printed circuit boards (PCBs).
The product terminates 18 through 24 AWG solid and stranded wire utilising insulation displacement technology to eliminate the labour-intensive task of pre-stripping wires and soldering.
The robust design of the IDC SSL connector suits harsh environments in the solid state lighting industry. Specific LED applications include lighting controls, general illumination fixtures and interconnection of strings in PCB light modules. Additionally, the product supports various non-lighting applications that require the attachment of discrete wire leads to PCBs. The RoHS-compliant connector – available in one, two, three and four positions – meets UL 1177 specifications.
Product offerings include SMT/through-hole and closed-end/feed-through configurations. The closed-end version contains a ‘viewing’ window to ensure that the wire is fully seated and secure after termination. The product, built with 94 V0-rated high-temperature resistant thermoplastic, enables reflow processing and features rounded corners to minimise shadowing. Wire gauges are colour coded to enable precise wiring.
