This specification covers the Inverted Thru Board Platform for both Card Edge and Poke-In Applications. These connectors allow power to be routed to LEDs on a printed circuit (pc) board via the pc board itself. The Card Edge version connects a LED driver pc board perpendicular to the LED pc board, while the Poke-In version accepts discrete wires (26 AWG to 18 AWG) inserted into the bottom of the connector. The low-profile flat top design minimizes interference with adjacent LEDs and provides a convenient pickup point for automated machinery. Both versions share a common pc board footprint and are packaged in tape and reel.
