Stript™ 70-9296 Series, Solid State Lighting Connector Contacts

Products within the solid-state lighting connector contact family are specifically engineered for use in LED-based illumination applications, where there is a demand for interconnect solutions catering to wire-to-board and board-to-board configurations. These interconnects are characterized by their ability to deliver cost-effective and efficient connectivity, while also accommodating low mating cycle lives and current carrying capacities of a few amperes or less. Traditionally, the term "contact" has denoted a component that is applied to a wire and then inserted into a "housing." However, this convention has not been consistently upheld in the context of solid-state lighting connectors. As a result, similar products have been categorized under both contacts and solid-state lighting connectors. In LED-based illumination applications, these interconnect products serve the crucial function of facilitating the connection between wires and circuit boards, as well as establishing connections between different circuit boards. They are designed to meet the specific requirements of LED-based lighting systems, ensuring reliable and cost-efficient interconnections. Furthermore, these interconnect products are engineered to accommodate low mating cycle lives, acknowledging that frequent disconnection and reconnection are not typical in LED lighting applications. As such, the connectors are optimized to maintain their performance and reliability over an extended operational lifespan. Additionally, these interconnect solutions are tailored to support current carrying capacities of a few amperes or less, aligning with the power requirements commonly associated with LED-based illumination systems. This targeted design ensures that the connectors effectively handle the electrical demands of LED lighting applications. In summary, the products within the solid-state lighting connector contact family are purposefully developed to address the specific connectivity needs of LED-based illumination applications. They are designed to provide cost-effective, reliable interconnections for wire-to-board and board-to-board setups, while also accommodating low mating cycle lives and current carrying capacities suitable for LED lighting systems. Despite the deviation from traditional categorization, these interconnect products play a vital role in supporting the seamless operation of LED-based illumination applications.
