block part. Both are made from high- temperature LCP plastic which is completely colour-stable after the SMT assembly process and UV resistant for long-term installation. As a result they minimise shadowing effects within the light fixture. Pluggable female, discrete wire, push-in spring-cage cable connectors are also available. These have a strong but flexible locking-latch design which is highly damage resistant and ensures dependable mating. Implementing TBs method under explosive environment Implementing TBs under Explosion proof environment required taking into consideration several new aspects and addresses it under well-known standard such as ATEX. The risk of explosion is particularly high in certain types of industries, which generate inflammable gas, inflammable liquid or inflammable dust. Indeed, the new ATEX directive now considers the explosion risk caused by dust. Refineries, Petrochemical and chemical industries. An explosion can occur if the following factors arecombined: Presence of inflammable substances Presence of an ignition source or inflammation source: fire, flame, electrical or mechanical sparks, overheated surfaces, electrostatic Discharges Oxygen.

simplifies LED module PCB assembly. Connecting the conductors in lighting fixtures was formerly often done using hand soldering. This is often unreliable and prone to error when using printed circuit boards with a metal core, due to the high degree of heat dissipation. The optimized design of the new connector hold-downs ensures rugged solder-pad retention and supports reliable handling during equipment final integration. PCB mounting design options commonly include a horizontal male and a discrete wire push-in spring-cage terminal

additional power supply, Locking pin ensures secure connection to the PCB, Rated up to 5 A and 60 V UL. The new connectors support reliable long-term installation of LED modules (assembled from LED arrays mounted on rigid and thermally conductive substrates for optimal heat dissipation) into a wide variety of applications, e.g. high/low bay indoor lighting, street lighting, floodlighting and emergency lighting. Applying SMT TBs with surface-mount reflow soldering processes greatly
