LISLE, IL -April 17, 2012- Molex Incorporated announces that
its solderless
LED Array Holder is now compatible with Sharp Zenigata LED
lighting products, including the 15W, 25W and 50W Mega Zenigata
and the 4W-15W Mini Zenigata. The Molex LED Array Holders
provide unique compression contacts to power the arrays while
eliminating the need for hand soldering or expensive Surface
Mount Technology (SMT) equipment. Ideal for light fixture
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), the holders reduce
installation time and increase connectivity options while
lowering costs. The solderless screw-down connection allows for
a standardized manufacturing process, adding to the design
flexibility. In addition, Sharp has specifically developed a
new contact pad structure for use with solderless LED Array
Holders.
"The Molex LED Array Holders allow Sharp to provide the same
high performance, superb light quality and energy-saving
products our customers expect, while simplifying the
installation and integration process," said Rob Winlow,
Engineering Manager, Sharp Laboratories of Europe. "This is
critical as LED lighting becomes more widespread in retail,
hospitality, commercial, and government applications and
customers look for flexible and cost-efficient solutions to
bring the next generation of lighting to these markets."
Molex's LED Array Holders are ideal for all general
illumination applications including downlighting,
architectural lighting and area lighting. With a double-ended
wire trap terminal, the holders simplify array assembly by
allowing flexibility in wire orientation to achieve optimal
wire routing. A releasable wire trap enables field
replacements and facilitates upgrades to current
applications. The thermoplastic housing supports high
heat-generating environments and the holders comply with UL
496 specifications. In addition, for the Mega Zenigata Molex
offers an optional LED protective cover that aligns with
Zhaga specifications.
Molex LED Array Holders are available through Molex
franchised distributors. For more information please visit
