"Space constraints have driven lighting manufacturers to focus on providing greater light output in smaller packages," said Dave Rios, new product development manager, Molex. "The Molex PSI solution is unique in that it not only offers a low profile that allows optics to be placed more closely to the LED, it also easily and reliably connects power to the array." The PSI system is ideal for high-density and high-light output applications such as downlighting (track, pendants and linear) and area lighting (roadways, parking lots and wall packs). LED Chip-on-Board technology ensures strong future development capabilities by allowing integration of additional components. The system supports a variety of potential PSI designs including: - Circular: 22.50 by 22.50mm COB size; 36.00mm outer diameter and 2.0mm height profile - Rectangular: 22.50 by 22.50mm COB size; 36.50 by 28.50mm outer dimension and 2.00mm height profile - Customizable shapes, sizes, mounting hole patterns and interconnects The solderless Pico-EZmate harness attaches to the LED array holder with no special processes or tools for an efficient connection that minimizes contact with the array to reduce the risk of damage. The vertical snap-to-mate connection, positive-lock latching feature and gold plated contacts deliver superior reliability. The harnesses will be offered in three wire gauge configurations and various lengths for a range of initial harness options based on application need. In addition to the integrated Pico-EZmate solution, Molex offers a wide variety of low-profile header and receptacle systems that can be integrated into a custom PSI depending on the application.
