Molex Solderless LED Array Holder Provides Single Piece Mounting Solution, Simplifying Installation of Bridgelux ES Arrays

Molex’s LED Array Holders are the perfect complement to Bridgelux’s ES Arrays. They allow us to deliver the same high performance and cost-effective solid-state lighting solution that our customers expect, while enhancing the plug and play nature of our arrays,” said Tony Marshall, director of array product marketing at Bridgelux. “Because there is no secondary processing in terms of wire soldering, Molex’s holders help facilitate quick design cycles and ease system-level integration challenges for OEMs.”

Molex’s LED Array Holders are ideal for all general illumination applications including downlighting, architectural lighting and area lighting. With a double-ended wire trap terminal, the holders simplify array assembly by allowing flexibility in wire orientation to achieve optimal wire routing. A releasable wire trap enables field replacements and facilitates upgrades to current applications. In addition, Molex offers a clear LED protective cover that includes a snap-lock feature. The thermoplastic housing supports high heat-generating environments.

“As LED technology becomes more prevalent, the challenge is developing products that simplify the installation process without compromising reliability or energy efficiency,” said Jeremy Zidek, associate product manager, solid-state lighting, Molex. “By using Molex’s unmatched interconnect knowledge, our holders provide Bridgelux ES Array customers with a single piece, solderless connection that is not only easy to install, but dramatically improves upon conventional LED mounting options.”
