TE Connectivity announced the release of a new high-power inverted through-board SMT connector. This lighting interconnect solution provides a means to bring power to aluminium-clad and FR4 boards from the underside of the printed circuit board (PCB), eliminating issues of dressing wires on the top side of LED boards.
The 2- to 4-position connector surface mounts on the top of the PCB, passing through the board, to present an interface on the underside of the board. The connector mates with Economy Power II connectors from TE. Their inverted design allows simpler assembly and installation of LED lighting in architectural, residential and commercial applications.
With a space-saving, low-profile design and rounded corners to minimise shadowing, the connector fits through a hole or notch in the board. High-temperature materials allow the connector to be reflow soldered, while a flat top surface provides compatibility with vacuum pickup from tape and reel packaging. The connector uses surface-mount hold-downs to provide stability during mating and unmating.
The connector assemblies are recognised compliant to UL and CSA International requirements. They are suited for use in indoor or outdoor solid state lighting applications, lighting controls and commercial meters.
