Beijing -- June 23, 2009 -- Tyco Electronics has introduced a Circular Lighting Sealed Connector for wire-to-wire and water-proof connector applications. The new connectors feature anti-oxidant rubber threads with UV-prevention configurations (PVC option is also available) and can achieve IP67 sealing. The connectors are available in 2, 3 or 4 positions. The 2- and 3-position sizes can be used with either rubber or PVC cable -- the 4-position size is only available for PVC cable. Designed for miniaturization of nodes, the connector's outer diameter is only 18.2 mm. These new connectors reflect the trend of miniaturization and provide an easy-to-use way to connectorize LED lighting in a broad range of outdoor applications, such as light strings, spotlights, wall washers, electronic billboards, high-quality tunnel lighting, floodlights, and street lights.
The connectors accomodate an operating temperature range from -55° to +105° C.The wire-to-wire system can carry up to 7 amperes of electrical current with a dielectric withstanding voltage up to 2200V AC for the 2-postion connector. The self-locking electrical connectors, with specific alignment dot options, latch firmly with a quarter-turn rotation and an audible locking signal. The sealed connectors meet MIL-STD-202, IEC 60529 and EIA-364 standards, and UL 1977 safety standard application is under process.
