Solderless LED socket reduces time, cost

The Type NL2 socket for quick termination of NICHIA COB-L LEDs provides a reliable mechanical and electrical connection of an LED onto a heat sink without solder. The solderless socket enables greater uniformity in connections with a strong yet removable connection and no need for heat application. The one-piece connector assembly features a poke-in wire termination method for 18 through 22-AWG solid, 18 through 20-AWG prebonded, and 18-AWG stranded wires. Integrated polarization enables a secure and lasting connection and makes the installation process extremely quick and easy with minimal manual work, helping to reduce time and costs.

The socket is suitable for applications such as retail lighting, commercial down lights and high bay lighting. It is UL-recognized to UL 1977 for use in UL 8750 applications and is RoHS compliant. (Contact company for price and availability.)
