New IP67 SlimSeal solid state lighting connector
Tyco Electronics is introducing the new SlimSeal Solid State Lighting (SSL) connector for indoor and outdoor applications. It has been developed to meet customers' needs for a sealed, low-profile, single-row LED connector for use in a variety of rugged lighting conditions.
SlimSeal SSL connectors maintain an IP67 seal rating, making them suitable for indoor and outdoor residential, commercial and architectural applications that are exposed to wet environments - such as billboards, live event shows, and street and tunnel lighting. Additionally, the connector can be used in traditional lighting fixtures and commercial refrigeration.
Key features include UV-resistant wire-to-wire and wire-to-board configurations, SMT and thru-hole headers, positive integral latching and pre-assembled seals. The polarised, RoHS-compliant connector - which is available in two, three and four positions - accepts 18 to 24 AWG stranded wire. Housings are manufactured with UL 94 V0-rated high temperature-resistant thermoplastic.
Electrical performance characteristics include an operating current of 5A, a maximum operating voltage of 250V AC or 250V DC and a 1500V AC dielectric withstanding voltage rating.
