Chip-on-Board LED array holders simplify installation

The holder for 13.35x13.35mm CoBs comes as a single piece in a 25.0mm diameter, low 3.15mm profile height. Rated at 300VDC and 3.0A, the holder allows optics to be mounted closer to the light emitting surface. Gold plated compression contacts interface with array pads for stable power connections across a wide range of environments and conditions.

SlimRay’s crimped, pre-stripped, and pre-installed colour-coded power wires address quality and reliability issues usually associated with hand-soldering directly to LED arrays. This results in reduced installation time, improved overall process consistency and long-term reliability.

A robust housing design helps ensure stable long-term mechanical attachment, even in high ambient temperatures. The integrated LED pre-hold tab secures the CoB array prior to mounting the assembly to a heat sink for final assembly, minimising installation time. The stripped wire ends can be easily terminated according to customer preference.

“Soldering wires directly to LED arrays is a time consuming process that can cause reliability concerns. Molex has designed a solderless, pre-wired system that provides lower heights and excellent wire-to-holder retention,” said Dave Rios, New Product Development Manager, Molex. “For lighting manufacturers using LED CoB arrays, the Molex SlimRay pre-wired LED CoB holder enables quick, easy and reliable installation in all types of fixture applications.”
