5 2-Position LIGHT-N-LOCK™ Standard Connectors TE's 2-Position LIGHT-N-LOCK Standard Connectors use poke-in wiring technology, enabling tool-free installation for field applications. This TE Connectivity connector provides a reliable connection with its small, low-profile design and is designed for Safe Touch connection per UL2459. It is applicable for size 18–22AWG solid or tin-dipped stranded wires. This TE Connectivity connector is ideal for indoor LED lighting applications, especially for downlighting. 3-Position LIGHT-N-LOCK™ Modular Latched Connectors Also ideal for indoor lighting applications, TE's 3-Position LIGHT-N-LOCK Modular Latched Connectors feature a compact design and are available in four colors for easy identification. These connectors also employ a poke-in termination for a fast, easy installation. No special tools are required. SlimSeal™ IP67/68 Sealed Circular Plastic Connectors These IP67/68 Sealed Circular Plastic Connectors are engineered specifi- cally for power and signal wire-to-wire connection systems in a wide range of harsh environment applications (Figure 2). These connectors are IP67/68 rated and are able to withstand the harshest environments. This connection system offers a pre-positioned 1/4 (0.25) turn coupling ring with positive lock and alignment features that make installation easy. With a unique contact pattern for each position size, accidental mating with other position sizes is prevented. Rectangular DC Power Connectors TE Connectivity's rectangular DC power connectors provide four contact points for enhanced reliability and current capacity (Figure 3). The rectangular DC jacks feature either 7A or 10.7A power, with 25VDC maximum voltage and durability of 5,000 cycles. Double contacts (power and ground) enhance reliability, louvre contacts in the receptacle provide maximum power transmission, and the plug detection contact allows for electrical switching. The symmetrical plug design allows for 180° insertion. Thus far, we've seen a variety of wise products for excellent connectivity within the electromechanical domain. Now let's explore some of the ways TE Connectivity solutions are a smart addition to any electronic lighting design, no matter how demanding the application. LUMAWISE™ LED Holders— The Name Says It All Smart lighting is being incorporated everywhere in an effort to increase operational efficiency and reduce expenses. To achieve this, TE has introduced a full line up of LED holders and sockets—called LUMAWISE—in partnership with leading LED and LED array manufacturers, including Lumileds, Cree, and Osram Opto Semiconductors, among others. By working with so many LED types and brands, TE's LED holders and sockets are leading the way in intelligent building solutions. LUMAWISE LED Holders integrate a wide variety of specifically designed M advantages into the O&E products supplied from other suppliers so that they can all work together. For instance, LUMAWISE LED Holders promote efficiency and versatility by providing solderless connections and three termination methods: Poke-in, Insulation-Displacement Contact (IDC), and separable. Sockets allow the LED to be directly attached to a PCB or heat sink using a few standard screws. They have a multi-point connection, accept optics, include fast attachment features, and provide proper orientation. It is easy to attach secondary optics, which reduces customer concerns about electric shorts. They feature high reflectivity polymer housing along with ultrasonic welding for increased reliability and robustness. Such design features enable lighting designers to use these products with many different OE packages so the final solution is customized for each lighting application. Roadway And Area Lighting, ANSI C136.41 ANSI 136.41 is the prevailing standard for roadway and area lighting equipment. It describes methods of light level control between an external locking photo control cell (or similar device) and a dimmable ballast or driver for street and area lighting equipment. TE has a number of products that are ANSI C136.41 compliant, including receptacles and modules. Figure 1: Where low profile is critical, SlimSeal™ SSL Sealed Lighting Connectors get the job done. Figure 2: Because they are able to withstand harsh environments IP67/68 Sealed Circular Plastic Connectors from TE Connectivity are the right choice to ensure excellent connections are established despite against many natural weather related elements. Figure 3: With 4 contacts and high reliability TE Connectivity's Rectangular DC Power Connectors get power and current where it is needed.
