LED lighting module connector offers a more reliable termination

Hirose has launched a user-friendly, wire-to-board connector for LED lighting module applications. The KN27 series was developed to replace traditional terminal blocks in LED lighting module applications. The design eliminates the need to screw down the connection and check for loosened terminal block screws, and offers a more reliable termination that reduces installation variation, time and cost. The connector series features a rugged two-point contact design that provides a reliable connection. The connector has an internal guide system that makes cable insertion simple and user-friendly. A push-lever provides for easy cable extraction. The space-saving design features a height of only 4.2mm, 3.9mm width and 11.85mm length (for single contact) all using a standard industry footprint. Although the series is compact it offers a high current rating of up to 9A. It is available with one or two contacts and accepts 18 to 24AWG. The connector meets halogen-free requirements and is RoHS compliant.
