Solid State Lighting Connectors

1. Overview

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.

2. Major Types and Functional Classification

TypeFunctional CharacteristicsApplication Examples
Wire-to-Board ConnectorsDirect PCB mounting, compact design, 0.5-5A current ratingLED strip lighting, retrofit lamps
Board-to-Board ConnectorsStackable design, 1-10A capacity, low insertion forceModular LED panels, downlights
Wire-to-Wire ConnectorsQuick-disconnect capability, IP20-IP67 ratingsOutdoor LED fixtures, emergency lighting
Circular Connectors360 rotation, multi-pole configurations, >10AHigh-power floodlights, stage lighting

3. Structure and Composition

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

4. Key Technical Parameters
