MOLEX 180150-0000

Molex’s LED Array Holder, ideal for OEM light-fixture manufacturers,
simplifies the LED installation process for Bridgelux energy-efficient
ES and RS Arrays and reduces installation time with compression
contacts that eliminate hand soldering
LED technology has been proven to reduce the amount of energy consumed and is
becoming a more reliable, efficient and user-friendly way for accommodating general
illumination requirements. Using unmatched interconnect technology, Molex provides
a solderless solution to mounting LED arrays into OEM designs.
LED array holders simplify the LED installation process by eliminating the need for hand
or SMT soldering and expensive SMT equipment. The holders will allow customers to
install LED arrays quickly into fixtures, enable field replacements and facilitate upgrades to
current applications.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Compression contacts to power array simplifies the LED installation
process by eliminating hand soldering
or expensive Surface Mount Technology (SMT) equipment and
reduces installation time
• Double-ended wire-trap terminal
to attach power source allows for
wiring serial or parallel LED
sequences, ensuring ease of
array assembly
• Screw-mount attachment method for
securing array to heat sink provides
voltage isolation between LED and
heat sink
• Releasable wire trap for rework
or replacement allows for field
serviceability
• High-temperature thermoplastic
housing supports high heat-generating
environments
• Overall array holder form factor is less
than 50.00mm (1.96”) in diameter
for ES arrays and 70.00 by 71.00mm
(2.75 by 2.80”) for RS arrays is ideal
for lamp and small-fixture
applications, including MR16 or track
lighting
• Clear LED protective cover is available
(ES version only) with a snap-lock
feature and the IP66 rated cover
provides dust and impact protection;
provides flexible design options
• Snap-lock feature for optional optic
provides aiming of light source, per
application
