This specification covers the Inverted Thru Board Platform for both Card Edge and Poke-In Applications. In both cases, power can be routed to the LEDs on a printed circuit (pc) board thru the pc board via these connector families. The Card Edge version allows the mating of a LED driver pc board perpendicular to the LED pc board. The Poke-In version allows discrete wires ranging from 26 AWG to 18 AWG to poke into the bottom of the connector. The low-profile flat top design minimizes interference of the light cone from the adjacent LEDs, and provides a convenient pick up location for automated pick-and-place machinery. The connectors share a common pc board footprint and are packaged in tape and reel per EIA-481.
