New Product: Introducing the Inverted Thru Board Card Edge & Poke In Connector
http://www.te.com/en/about-te/news/new-products/2013/itbcardedgeandpokein.html
The Inverted Card Edge and Poke-In Platform Connectors provide 3.0 mm creep and clearance from all other conductive components on FR4 and metal clad printed circuit boards. The 2 position connectors share the same printed circuit board footprint while offering flexibility in providing either a direct power driver board one piece mating solution or a poke-in wire connection to the underside of the LED array boards.
Product Features
- The ITB connectors are surface mounted at the same time as other devices on the PCB eliminating secondary processes
- Low profile, space-saving connector designed with and without a cover. The 1.55 mm without cover or 1.90 mm with cover height above the PCB minimizes LED light obstruction.
- Surface mount hold downs provide stability during driver board mating, un-mating and poke-in mating.
- Flat top surface allows for vacuum pick up
- Tape and reel packaging for high speed SMT processing
- Designed with round corners to minimize shadowing
- Both the Inverted Poke-in and Inverted Card Edge Connectors are available with an optional cap that provides for a touch safe design once soldered to the printed circuit board
Applications
- Retrofit LED Bulbs
- Track Lighting
- Spot Lights
