TE Connectivity's inverted thru-board (ITB) card edge connector provides direct power connection between driver boards to the underside of LED array boards. This 2 position, SMT card edge connector provides a perpendicular mating, cable-less, space-saving power connection, ideal for compact LED assembly designs, such as those found in today’s retrofit lamps and bulbs. The low-profile design has a 1.5 mm height above the LED mounted board and accepts either 1.0 mm or 1.2 mm thick driver boards.
Features
- Flat-top surface allows for vacuum pick-up
- Designed with round corners to minimize shadowing
- Tape-and-reel packaging for high-speed SMT processing
- One piece mating solution for faster and easier assembly operation
- Offered in two versions to accept either 1.0 mm or 1.2 mm thick mating PCBs
- Low-profile space-saving design. The 1.5 mm height above the PCB, minimizes LED light obstruction
- The connector surface mount hold-downs provide stability during driver board mating and un-mating
- The ITB card edge connector is surface mounted at the same time as other devices on the PCB eliminating secondary processes
Applications
- Edison style LED bulbs
- Indoor and outdoor LED lighting devices
- MR16 and PAR series LED replacement lamps
- Various non-lighting applications that require a cable-less, compact, right angle, inverted board-to-board interconnect
