Tyco offers SMT assembly for solid-state lighting
TE Connectivity
G13-style SMT assembly
Tyco Electronics has announced an RoHS-compliant G13-style SMT assembly and end-cap cover for the solid-state-lighting (SSL) industry.
The product supports printed circuit boards (PCBs) and LED strip-lighting modules found in the standard T8 and T12 fluorescent LED retrofit tubes.
The integrated assembly enables high-volume manufacturing of fluorescent LED retrofit tubes by allowing a quick SMT electrical connection to the PCB and a standard pin interface to fixture lamp socket (tombstone) connectors.
The product, tape-and-reel packaged to facilitate high-speed processing, is compatible with FR4 and aluminium-clad PCBs.
Designed-in features include a surface-mount hold down to provide additional stability of the connector during insertion and/or extraction of the LED tube.
The SMT housing material consists of UL 94 V0-rated high-temperature-resistant thermoplastic for reflow processing on automated equipment.
The end-cap cover interfaces with the connector assembly, heat sink and tube, and is packaged separately for ease of assembly.
Performance characteristics include: 2A current rating, 250V DC/250V AC voltage rating, 1,500V AC dielectric withstanding voltage and a 0.5in pin centreline spacing per G13 specification.
Operating temperature ranges from -40 to 120C.
The product is ETL recognised to UL 8750 and UL 1993 standards.
