MOLEX LED ARRAY HOLDERS Molex uses advanced interconnect technology to produce a range of solderless LED holder solutions for mounting LED arrays into a luminaire. These holders make it very easy to integrate LEDs into a lighting fixture without the need for special tools. Unique compression contacts power the arrays, while eliminating solder variability due to hand soldering. The easy screw-down connection enables lean manufacturing and easy integration of the latest LED technology into a luminaire. The latest designs from Molex feature a double-ended wire-trap terminal to attach the power source, which allows for serial or parallel LED wiring sequences.

The screw-mount attachment method secures the array to a heat sink, providing voltage isolation between the LED and heat sink. A releasable wire trap enables field serviceability for rework or replacement. A high-temperature thermoplastic housing withstands heat-generating environments. With the increased ease of installation, more flexibility in manufacturing and better ways to update a system with the latest LED technology, Molex LED holders help to drive down the overall system cost.
