TE CONNECTIVITY RELEASES HERMAPHRODITIC CONNECTOR FOR LED

The hermaphroditic blade and dispenser connector’s surface-mounted (SMT), board-to-board configuration eliminates supply specifications with a single connector that links to itself. The wire-to-board connector also connects to the new part number sequence in a standard LED lighting process, supplying power to the first beam in a chain of rigid LED light strips printed circuit board. The connectors help speed up assembly time with lower profile, solder paste congruent layout in tape and reel branding. TE is a trail blazer in a well-engineered interconnections that incorporate controls effortlessly and distribute power and data across numerous building systems to allow optimum performance at all levels. TE provides a solution for each of the main common systems in many modern buildings such as: construction robotics, safety & security, elevators & escalators, ecological comfort and LED lighting. TE Connectivity (NYSE: TEL) is a global leader in technological innovation for $12 billion. In today’s growing connected world, our networking and sensor solutions are important. We work with engineers to transform their notions into designs–to redefine what is possible using smart, effective and high-performance TE products and approaches that have clearly demonstrated themselves in hostile environments.

A key advantage is that the scheme can decrease machining time with plugs that matt and unmate laterally and vertically to themselves. It also supports high-temperature vacuum pick-and-place and reflow handling. The connectors are accessible in hermaphroditic versions of 2-, 4-and 6-position.

Drive power between adjacent linear LED lighting strip modules

The plugs Hermaphroditic Blade and Container are engineered to also provide control between the adjoining linear LED strip lighting components. The sleek design of this coupler, available in 2, 4 and 6 positions, makes it a perfect fit in narrow spaces, and the design elements of the vacuum pick and place render it appropriate for high volume automated production. It mates and unmates connector (vertically and horizontally) to itself, allowing for a lower stock of part number.
BENEFITS
  • Benefits Lower design time that use the same connector for 2, 4 or 6-position control, information or signals attachments .
  • Reduce stock specifications with a single connector that suits itself .
  • Simplify alignment and operation with either vertical or horizontal connections (connector can be articulated between 90 ° and 180 °)
  • Provide versatility in layout with board-to-board or connector-to-board options
  • Simplify specification by enabling the same footprint on both sides of the block
  •  Maximize LED output with rounded edges with low profile plug, eliminating shadowing
  • Aid withstand motion and wire strains with wire-to-board connectors with positive latching
  • Choose gold latching reduces the risk for minor movement corrosion in severe LED lighting conditions
  •  Length of alignment with surface mounting and solder paste compatible low profile layout in band and reel packaging
Applications
  • Architectural and sign lighting
  • Retail and display lighting
  • Fluorescent retrofit LED Lighting
  • Cabinet or furniture lighting
  • Commercial and residential cove lighting
  • Access control equipment
  • Thermostats
  • Vending machines

Little Know more about Brush-less Motors

Image
Brushless motors Brushless differs from conventional dc motors in the sense that it does not have brushes. Commutation is done using electronic drives to feed power to the stator windings. They consist of a rotor which is in the form of a permanent magnet and a stator that is in the form of polyphase armature windings. A  brushless DC motor  can be constructed in two ways; one is by placing the rotor outside the core and the other is by placing the rotor inside the core. How a brushless motor works Brushless motors are driven by electronic drives that  switch  the supply voltage between the stator windings while the rotor turns. There is a transducer that monitors the position of the rotor as it turns and conveys the information to an electronic controller. The controller then decides which stator winding to be energized based on the position of the rotor. Electronic drives are made up of two transistors each phase which is run by a microprocessor. T...

LED Modules: Manufacturer,Types and Application

Image
LED Modules Light-emitting diodes (LED) modules are LED self-contained devices that are designed to either function on its own or to plug into a compatible unit. These modules are mostly used in the development of both energy-efficient and portable lighting.  An LED contains several LED bulbs that are connected to a fixture that contains a battery or an alternative power supply which powers all the bulbs contained therein. LED modules can either emit white light or emit different colours based on the material they are made of. They are prominently used for advertising and signages but could as well be used for other purposes due to their versatility. Types of LED modules There are a variety of LED modules available in the market. There no specific parameters that can be used to categorize LED modules . They can be categorized in terms of efficiency, form, CCT, colour among others. Some of the common ones used in signage and advertising include; Side LED mod...

Block-chain: A Complete Beginners Guide | Block Chain Technology

Image
Blockchain technology Blockchain technology is barely three decades old, but it has completely changed global money transfer as we know it. It was first conceived in 1991 by a group of researchers who originally intended it to be used to timestamp digital documents to make it impossible to tamper with them. This concept was first put into actual use in 2009 by Satoshi Takamoto to create Bitcoin. Bitcoin has since spurred the adoption of  blockchain technology  for cryptocurrency, medical records, and land records among others.  What is blockchain? A blockchain is a network of computers that share a digital ledger that is duplicated and distributed across all participants in the network (nodes). That is to say that each node on the network has a duplicate copy of the ledger. The digital ledger keeps a chain of transactions since the creation of the network. The chain of transactions keeps growing as new blocks of transactions are approved and then added along....
