AVX designs connectors for LED lighting

AVX Corporation has expanded its wire-to-board connector product offering to include board-to-board connectors specifically designed for the LED lighting industry.

The 9159 Series connectors provide design flexibility through both card edge (one-piece) and plug and socket (two-piece) interconnect options.

The connectors feature a small footprint, making them ideal for applications where multiple printed circuit boards need to be plugged together, such as LED lighting strips.

The double-ended card edge version provides a simple and direct connection to both ends of a standard PCB with tin plated pads in two, three, four and five positions.

These 2mm pitch connectors support 3A current and 250V ratings.

The connectors are 5mm high and come in both black and white options.

The two-piece connector version is surface mounted on one side of the PCB, which allows the LEDs to be placed on the other side to maintain consistent spacing.

These 3mm pitch and 3mm high connectors are 5.5mm wide when mated together.

Tooled in two, three, four and five position, these connectors are also available in black and white options.

The 9159 Series is tested to industrial levels of shock, vibration and temperature cycling per IEC specifications to assure they can withstand the harsh environments they were designed for.

The connectors are suitable for use in LED lighting strips for sports arena signs, display cases, lighted cabinets, fluorescent tube replacement and architectural lights used for building feature enhancement or internal feature lighting.

The connectors are also suited to rugged industrial and automotive applications.

Both versions of the 9159 Series connectors are rated at 3A current and have an operating temperature ranges of -55C to +125C.

They are supplied in tape and reel packing and are RoHS-compliant.
