Tyco launches new screw-down jumper assembly for LED applications
Published:  09 March, 2010

Tyco Electronics has launched a new board-to-board screw-down jumper assembly for use in LED lighting strips, lighting controls, and channel lettering. The RoHS-compliant jumper, which was originally designed for T8 and T12 fluorescent retrofit tubes, specifically serves the solid state lighting (SSL) market.

The product has been designed to simplify the manufacturing process of lighting applications by providing the electrical connection between adjacent printed circuit boards (PCBs), arranged in a string of LED PCBs. The featured screw fastens to threaded holes in an aluminum clad PCB base, or into a separate aluminum heat sink used with FR4 boards.

The two-position jumper fits onto a 16.50mm [.650 inch] wide PCB with features that maintain a 7.0mm [.276 inch] spacing between adjacent boards. The ETL recognised board-to-board connector meets UL 1977 standards.
