SSL - Shorting Socket Series 58-9159 The 9159 series of Board-to-Board interconnect system allows two PCB's to be mated end-to-end creating strips of LED lighting. Designed specifically for the unique Solid State Lighting (SSL) market requiring coplanar (horizontal-to-horizontal) PCB mating with a 5 Amp current rating in the smallest package available. The 2 position shorting socket was designed to plug onto the last PCB in the lighting strip to short the two contacts together, closing the electrical loop. Just as the cabled plug brings power and signals onto the light strip, the shorting socket completes the circuit while maintaining a single board design. APPLICATIONS * Coplanar PCB mating in SSL products * LED linear lighting strips * Application Notes: refer to 201-01-123 FEATURES AND BENEFITS * * * * Mates to the standard plug connector: does not require a new connector Integral latching mechanism: Provides positive attachment to the plug Gold plated BeCu spring contacts: reliability for harsh environments Available in white: supports SSL market preferences ELECTRICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MECHANICAL * Current Rating: 5 Amps / Contact * Voltage Rating: 125 VAC * Operating Temperature: -40C to +125C * * * * Insulator Material: Nylon: VL94VO Contact Material: BeCu / Phos Bronze Plating: Gold / Tin over Nickel Durability: 10 Cycles HOW TO ORDER 58 9159 002 000 006 Certification: UL File #E90723 1 SSL - Shorting Socket Series 58-9159 PACKING DETAILS 2 Mouser Electronics Authorized Distributor Click to View Pricing, Inventory, Delivery & Lifecycle Information: AVX: 589159002000006 589159002000015 589159002060020 589159003060020 589159002060010 589159003000015 589159003060010 589159004060010 589159005060010 589159006060010 589159000000000 589159005005045
