Illumimate meets needs of thin-screen LED TVs

The LED lights for an LED TV can be located on a bus-bar across the middle of the screen or, as in some of the newest models, on the edge of the panel in order to avoid shadowing.

Illumimate offers one of the narrowest widths of any similar low-power connector system currently available on the market, along with significant cost and performance advantages - according to the company.

Illumimate connectors feature a robust dual-positive locking design, which includes locking windows for visual lock confirmation and a latch to ensure secure mating.

Other key features of the Molex Illumimate range include a dual-contact terminal design for secure electrical contact, wide solder tabs for assured PCB retention and polarising ribs between circuits in the header that facilitate mating and protect contacts.

In addition, the Illumimate connectors are halogen free to meet global environmental requirements.

Initially, the Illumimate range is available as a four-circuit connector system, with several additional circuit sizes to be introduced in the coming months.
