LED Socket Suits Wire And Board Applications

Tyco Electronics has launched the Type CM solderless LED socket for easy integration of the Cree Xlamp MP-L multichip LED into light fixtures. The socket offers customers a simple termination solution for the LED while allowing ample optical clearance for the provided 120-deg beam angle. An additional benefit of the socket is the snap-on connect feature for the Ledil Tyra series of reflectors, which offers directional optics in 18-, 30- and 50-deg beam angles.

The solderless LED socket provides a rapid termination solution for the Xlamp MP-L LED's six 0.60mm2 connection pads that are mounted on the top of the LED. Tyco Electronics' low-profile socket eliminates the need to solder by providing a solderless solution that reduces assembly time while providing a repeatable and separable termination. In addition, the socket is offered in two versions to suit wire or board applications; each is offered with or without attachment features for optics. The wire termination version incorporates a Tyco Electronics AMP mini CT connector header that mates to a cable-mounted AMP mini CT plug, allowing for quick and easy wire connections.

This version eliminates the need for a circuit board and allows the Xlamp MP-L LED to be mounted directly to the heat sink using a thermally conductive adhesive. The board termination version, suitable for PCB-mount applications, provides a solderless termination directly to the PCB from the Xlamp MP-L LED. This version suits applications where drive circuitry and remote connectors are integrated onto the same board as the LED. Socket design meets UL 1977 requirements and utilises standard, commercially available hardware for attachment.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
