The IDC SSL connector series are insulation displacement (IDC) SMT and thru-hole wire-to-board connectors designed for quick, tool-less termination of discrete wires onto LED printed circuit boards. These connectors use Tyco Electronics proven insulation displacement technology to provide a robust, stable electrical and mechanical power connection to single or multiple printed circuit boards in solid state lighting and non-lighting applications.
The IDC SSL Connector series from Tyco Electronics provides insulation‑displacement (IDC) connectors in both surface‑mount (SMT) and thru‑hole formats. Available in 1 to 4 positions, the connectors feature closed‑end and feed‑through options, dual IDC slots for redundancy, a wire‑placement viewing window, and color‑coded wire gauge identification for quick, tool‑less termination.
These connectors are suited for LED lighting applications, general illumination, and non‑lighting wire‑to‑board uses. They support 18‑24 AWG stranded or solid wire, comply with UL 1977, and are supplied in tape‑and‑reel packaging per EIA‑481. Technical support and ordering information are provided at the end of the brochure.
