Solid State Lighting (SSL) Connectors are electrical components designed to establish reliable interconnections between LED lighting systems and power sources. As critical elements in modern LED lighting architecture, these connectors enable efficient power transmission, signal control, and modular system design. Their importance stems from the growing demand for energy-efficient lighting solutions, with SSL connectors ensuring durability, scalability, and compliance with safety standards in applications ranging from residential to industrial environments.
| Type | Functional Characteristics | Application Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Wire-to-Board Connectors | Direct PCB mounting, compact design, 0.5-5A current rating | LED strip lighting, retrofit lamps |
| Board-to-Board Connectors | Stackable design, 1-10A capacity, low insertion force | Modular LED panels, downlights |
| Wire-to-Wire Connectors | Quick-disconnect capability, IP20-IP67 ratings | Outdoor LED fixtures, emergency lighting |
| Circular Connectors | 360 rotation, multi-pole configurations, >10A | High-power floodlights, stage lighting |
SSL connectors typically consist of: - Contact Elements: Phosphor bronze or beryllium copper with gold/silver plating (0.1-0.3 m thickness) - Insulation Housing: High-temperature resistant thermoplastics (UL94 V-0 rated) - Shielding Components: Optional EMI/RFI protection with conductive coatings - Retention Mechanism: Latches or screws meeting IEC 60598 mechanical stability requirements
| Parameter | Significance | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|
| Current Rating | Determines power capacity | 0.5-15A |
| Contact Resistance | Affects thermal performance | 10m |
| Dielectric Strength | Ensures electrical safety | 1.5-5kV |
| IP Rating | Defines environmental protection | IP20-IP68 |
| Temperature Range | Operational reliability | -40 C to +125 C |
| Mating Cycles | Indicates mechanical durability | 500-10,000 cycles |
Key industries include: - Commercial lighting (office/downlight systems) - Architectural illumination (facade/museum lighting) - Industrial environments (high-bay fixtures) - Outdoor installations (streetlighting, tunnel lighting) - Smart lighting systems (IoT-enabled luminaires)
| Manufacturer | Country | Representative Product |
