THE CUSTOMER
Crescent Lighting Limited manufactures and distributes LED and fibre optic lighting equipment for the UK and world markets. During development of their Micro Cove (CLMC) family of slim line low profile LED light, they required a small surface mounted connection solution and selected three Phoenix Contact products from the COMBICON Compact PTSM range.
THE PRODUCT Crescent Lighting’s CLMC Micro Cove is a new small interior lighting profile which has the ability to be joined seamlessly together, with no dark zones at the joints. Size in important as the CLMC is just 22 x 13mm and designed for small coves, niches and architectural features. It also has the advantage of Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) dimming and on board driver technology making it simple to install.
THE SOLUTION
The PTSM surface mount device connector range is ideal for the application for several notable design features.
Due to the physical size of the CLMC Micro Cove, the connectors needed to have a small footprint to fit the Metal Clad Printed Circuit Board (MPCB). Current was also a key consideration as the CLMC is a 24V DC lighting fixture and designed to link together, creating a continuous light source. The PTSM is designed on a compact 2.5mm pitch and rated up to 6 amps and 250 volts, making it a market leader in its class.
