Poke-in wire LED lighting connector

A poke-in connector for the LED lighting market has been introduced by Tyco Electronics.

This new, low-profile, surface mount (SMT), two-position device is ideally suited for use in PCB-based LED strings, lighting controls, and other applications that can benefit from an easy poke-in wire termination to the PCB. It offers quick and reliable wire termination as a low-labour alternative to hand-soldering wires, particularly when used with single-sided aluminium clad circuit boards. The connector is available in tape & reel packaging (x800) conformant with ANSI/EIA Standard 481-C, for high speed SMT processing equipment, and the high-temperature plastic housing is resistant to reflow solder processes.

RoHS compliant, the Poke-In connector incorporates tin-over-nickel plated copper alloy contacts with a UL94-V0 rated high-temperature thermoplastic housing. Although optimized for use with 18AWG wire of 6 to 16 strands, the poke-in LED connector also accepts 18 to 22 AWG solid and 18 to 20 AWG prebond stranded wire. The connector is UL c/UL recognized for 4A at 48VDC and 4A at 250VAC. Mechanical wire retention is rated for five pounds minimum.
