Circular connector for outdoor LED lighting
9 June 2010
Interconnection
Tyco Electronics has introduced a circular, sealed lighting connector for wire-to-wire and waterproof connector applications.
It features anti-oxidant rubber threads with UV-prevention configurations (PVC option is also available) and can achieve IP67 sealing. The connectors are available in two, three or four positions. The 2- and 3-position sizes can be used with either rubber or PVC cable, while the 4-position size is only available for PVC cable. Designed for miniaturisation of nodes, the connector’s outer diameter is only 18,2 mm. These new connectors reflect the trend of miniaturisation and provide an easy-to-use way to connectorise LED lighting in a broad range of outdoor applications, such as light strings, spotlights, wall washers, electronic billboards, high-quality tunnel lighting, floodlights and street lights.
The connectors accommodate an operating temperature range from -55°C to +105°C.The wire-to-wire system can carry up to 7 A with a dielectric withstanding voltage up to 2200 V a.c. for the 2-position connector. The self-locking electrical connectors, with specific alignment dot options, latch firmly with a quarter-turn rotation and an audible locking signal. The sealed connectors meet MIL-STD-202, IEC 60529 and EIA-364 standards, and UL 1977 safety standard application is under process.
