AVX offers SMT connector for PCB strip lighting
AVX
SMT connector
AVX has expanded its 9159 Series solid-state lighting connector offering to include a miniature, single-sided SMT connector for strip-lighting applications on printed circuit boards (PCBs).
The 5A connectors provide board-to-board connection for end-to-end board mating, also known as ’butt mating’, which optimises light-emitting-diode (LED) spacing for maximum optical performance.
The 9159 Series LED connectors feature a slide-top receptacle that enables in-field repair and replacement once the lighting fixture has been installed.
The connectors also include a shorting socket and a locking mechanism to ensure positive attachment and to meet emerging harsh-environment SSL system requirements.
Optional wire-to-board plug connectors are also available with the standard receptacle to get power and signals onto the board.
The two-piece wire-to-board connector is typically surface mounted to the top side of the PCB, which allows the board to be directly attached to a heatsink for maximum thermal dissipation.
These 3.0mm-pitch, 3.0mm-high connectors measure 5.50mm in width when mated together to provide small LED pitch spacing.
Tooled in two-, three-, four-, five- and six-position versions, the 9159 Series 5A connectors have a voltage rating of 125VAC, with an operating temperature range of -55C to +125C.
The 9159 Series connectors are tested to industrial levels of shock, vibration and temperature cycling per IEC specifications to assure they can withstand harsh environments.
Suitable for use in rugged applications such as industrial and automotive lighting systems, the 9159 Series connectors are also ideal for LED lighting strips for sports-arena signs, display cases, lighted cabinets, fluorescent tube replacement and architectural lights used for building feature enhancement or internal accent lighting.
These connectors are supplied in standard tape and reel packaging and are RoHS compliant.
