POWER CONNECTORS /// FOR LIGHTING APPLICATIONS From outdoor luminaires to commercial refrigeration, new technology boosts innovation in lighting. By 2019, nearly 2 billion connected home devices—many with innovative lighting—are expected to ship globally. Partner with TE Connectivity (TE) to help bring your products to market fast with our broad range of power connector solutions. POWER CONNECTORS FOR LIGHTING APPLICATIONS POWER TRIPLE LOCK Connectors Combining high performance with a functional design, these connectors with 6mm centerline spacing were specifically developed for better power connections up to 20A. The system offers three enhanced methods to help assure secure connections. Available in wire-to-wire and wire-to-board types. With the available high temperature (150°C) material, this connector system is ideal for lighting applications. Economy Power Connectors These wire-to-board connectors are widely utilized for power circuit applications up to 11A in lighting, household appliances and industrial machinery. Choose from 3.96, 5.08 or 7.92mm pitches. Optional terminal position assurance (TPA) devices help assure contacts are seated in housings. These connectors are offered in Glow Wire compatible material that also meet UL 94 V-0. Power Key Connectors Power key connectors are designed and built for manufac- turing efficiency by optimizing contact seating and proper mating to the PCB headers. The 5.0mm pitch connectors offer a compact 20.7mm mated height, and are ergono- mically friendly for assembly. Various colors and keys help prevent mis-mating, and are potting capable for PCB boards. GWT compliant models meeting UL 94 V-0 are offered. Universal MATE-N-LOK Connectors With pins and sockets intermixed in .250" [6.35mm] pitch housings, these connectors are rated to 19A. They offer wire- to-wire, wire-to-panel, and wire-to-board configurations. Polarization, positive locking, and rear cavity identification ease assembly. Options include circular, flanged, bulkhead, sealed, and colored housings in various materials (including Glow Wire compliant) for lighting and other applications. Mini Universal MATE-N-LOK Connectors Compact, durable connectors rated up to 10.5A provide panel mount, free hanging, and wire-to-board connections in a .163" [4.14mm] pitch package. They are polarized to provide proper plug-to-cap mating and have a latch to help prevent accidental un-mating. A sealed option offers moisture resistance where there is high humidity or intermittent liquid splashing, or for foam-in applications. Micro Universal MATE-N-LOK Connectors Micro MATE-N-LOK connectors, with a 3mm contact centerline and 5A rating, are the smallest solutions in the MATE-N-LOK connector family, offering wire-to-wire and wire-to-board types. Low profile versions are less than 4.7mm tall. IR reflow-compatible headers include vertical and right angle types for through-hole and surface mounting. Typical uses include lighting, appliances, industrial equipment, home equipment, and security systems.
