Surface-mount wire-to-board connectors for low-profile applications

Ideal for low-profile LED lighting-module applications, Molex's Lite-Trap and Mini Lite-Trap connectors are now available from TTI Europe. They offer low profile heights with easy wire removal, and low wire insertion and high wire retention forces. With profile heights as low as 2.65mm, Lite-Trap connectors offer an ultra-thin profile to prevent shadowing in LED lighting applications. The wire-removable connector offers lower wire insertion force than similar types. It also offers a user-friendly latch that is easy for operators to engage and disengage, even without the use of a tool. These features combine to offer easy field assembly and removal if needed for trained or untrained operators. Other features include a housing design that accepts more insulation-length range than competitive designs. This provides more stable wire seating for electrical contact assurance. The dual-contact wire-trap clamp design provides further mating assurance.
