Molex LED sockets offer excellent push-fit contacts for powering arrays, eliminating the need for manual soldering and expensive surface-mount technology (SMT). These sockets are an ideal solution for lamp original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) because they speed up the installation process, increase connectivity options, and reduce costs. The solderless screw connection allows for standardized manufacturing, contributing to greater design flexibility. Furthermore, Sharp has specially developed a new contact plate structure for use with these solderless LED sockets.
Molex LED sockets are ideal for any general lighting application, including downlighting, architectural, and area lighting systems. Featuring a double-ended wire splice terminal, the sockets simplify array assembly by allowing for optimal wire routing thanks to their flexibility. Removable splices enable on-site replacements and facilitate application upgrades. The thermoplastic housing is suitable for high-temperature environments, and the mounting brackets meet UL 496 specifications. Additionally, Molex offers an optional Zhaga-compliant protective cover for Mega Zenigata products.
