Solderless Cree LED sockets
4 April 2012
Interconnection
TE Connectivity’s solderless LED socket, type CM, is designed for easy integration of the Cree XLamp MP-L multichip LED into light fixtures. The socket offers a simple termination solution while allowing ample optical clearance for un-lensed applications. For lensed applications, the socket incorporates a snap-on connect feature for the LEDIL Tyra series of reflectors, which offer directional optics in 18, 30 and 50 degree beam angles.
The solderless LED socket provides a rapid termination solution for the XLamp MP-L LED’s six 0,60 mm² connection pads that are mounted on the top of the LED. This low-profile socket eliminates the need to solder by providing a solderless solution that reduces assembly time while providing a repeatable and separable termination. In addition, the socket is conveniently offered in two versions to suit wire or board applications; each version is offered with or without attachment features for optics.
The wire termination version incorporates a TE AMP mini CT connector header that mates to a cable mounted AMP mini CT plug, allowing for quick, easy wire connections. This version eliminates the need for a circuit board and allows the LED to be mounted directly to the heatsink using a thermally conductive adhesive. A six-inch AMP mini CT pigtail assembly is also offered to provide a complete interconnect solution for the XLamp MP-L LED implementation.
The board termination version, suitable for PCB-mount applications, provides a solderless termination directly to the PCB from the LED. This version suits applications where drive circuitry and remote connectors are integrated onto the same board as the LED.
