Molex , the world's leading provider of complete interconnect products, offers a broad portfolio of solid-state lighting market interconnect solutions that continue to support lighting designers and manufacturers. For many years, Molex has used its extensive resources and expertise to develop products that advance the advancement of LED technology by providing critical electrical connections for multiple applications. At LIGHTFAIR International in Las Vegas in May, Molex will showcase the solid-state lighting market interconnect portfolio and a variety of innovative LED interconnect solutions.

Greg Kuchuris, product manager at Molex, said: "One of the most critical requirements for solid-state lighting is to develop electrical components that drive LEDs efficiently, reliably and safely without significantly increasing costs. We take advantage of the long-standing accumulation of electrical, connectors , heat sinks and Optical expertise to develop world-class solutions that provide lighting product manufacturers and designers with the highest quality, safest and most cost-effective lighting interconnect products in today's market."

At the International Lighting Show, Molex will work with anyCOMM to showcase an HD video demonstration of the control, monitoring and cost advantages of using anyCOMM's Smart Lighting system. anyCOMM is a solid-state lighting for residential and commercial use, as well as an embedded software solution development company for monitoring, control and lighting automation and other electronic functions.

In addition, Molex will showcase a variety of products at the show:

Solderless LED lamp holder

Molex solderless array lamp holders are designed to allow lighting manufacturers to easily establish electrical connections between LED arrays and power supplies. Its unique two-wire crimping provides power to the LED array without the need for manual soldering or expensive surface mount technology. When designing and maintaining LED lighting applications, this product simplifies the installation process and provides on-site maintenance benefits.

Lighting disc

Molex is developing a new generation of solid-state lighting products that use state-of-the-art Molded Interconnect Device (MID) technology to integrate light sources, electronics, optical systems and thermal management on discs 50 mm in diameter and 10 mm in height. This universal light source will be able to be placed directly into a PAR-type bulb, an A19 bulb, a downlight, or any other source currently under development. It is powered directly from the line voltage and is equivalent to a 75W bulb.

Micro product

Molex will also showcase a number of fine pitch miniature connector products for the lighting market:

• Pico-EZmateTM Wire-to-Board Connector : Molex's 1.20mm (0.047") Pico-EZmate Connector Features Small and Low Side Height for Two to Five Ways for Small Wire-to-Board Applications The 1.55mm (0.061") is available in a height-adjustable version and is available in a 6-way 1.65mm (0.065") height profile.
• PicoBladeTM Wire-to-Board Connector: Molex's 1.25mm (0.049") PicoBladeTM system is designed for high-density wire harness applications. The PicoBlade is also capable of delivering 1.0A with a similar 2.00mm (0.079") pitch system, but with a smaller design.
• CLIK-MateTM Wire-to-Board Connector: Designed for applications that require more signal lines in a small space with a larger number of connectors, the system includes a unique tuning fork terminal concept available Low insertion force and firm mating contact.
SlimStackTM Board-to-Board Connector: SlimStack 0.40mm connector for tight-package applications, offering the industry's broadest selection of low-side, ultra-narrow-width connectors with a variety of stack heights for space savings and design flexibility .

Woodhead? Industrial Lighting Products

Molex's Woodhead industrial lighting products provide portable, secure, code-compliant lighting for demanding environmental applications such as gas service facilities, oil refineries, shipyards, fuel handling terminals and petrochemical plants. The company will soon introduce several new LED options in the portable lighting product line, including:

Large-area portable work light for hazardous areas (Class 1 and Class 2): with four 25W LED arrays at 4100K color temperature, providing a very rugged light source with instant-on and high output, and It has precise color rendering and a lifetime of over 50,000 hours.
Large-area portable floodlights for hazardous areas (Class 1 and Class 1): Four 25W LED arrays at 4100K color temperature provide extremely robust long-life light source with instant-on and high output Compared to the commonly used 300W quartz halogen lamp, the output per ft of brightness (Ft-candle) is increased by more than 30%.
