SSL - Horizontal Plug
Series 9159
The 9159 series of Board-to-Board interconnect system allows two
PCB's to be mated end-to-end creating strips of LED lighting. Designed
specifically for the unique Solid State Lighting (SSL) market requiring
coplanar (horizontal-to-horizontal) PCB mating with a 5 Amp current
rating in the smallest package available. These single sided SMT
connectors are perfect for both FR4 and metal boards where you need to
butt the boards up together to minimize separation. Availably of
both white and black insulation colors make them perfect for lighting as
well as industrial applications. With sizes from 2p-6p, these high reliability
connectors boast gold plated beryllium copper receptacle contacts for
harsh environments.
Additional components in the 9159 product family include:
• SSL - Cabled Plug; Supports wire-to-board applications (11-9159)
• SSL - Horizontal Socket; Standard 2-Piece solution (20-9159)
• SSL - Top Load Socket; ZIF style for field reparability (22-9159)
• SSL - Shorting Socket; Two position (58-9159)
• SSL - Retaining Clip; Latches BTB connectors together (80-9159)
