SSL – Shorting Socket

Series 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.

Additional components in the 9159 product family include:

• SSL - Horizontal Plug; Standard 2-Piece solution (10-9159)

• SSL - Cabled Plug; Supports wire-to-board applications (11-9159)

• SSL - Horizontal Socket; Standard 2-Piece solution (20-9159)

• SSL - Top Load Socket; ZIF style for field reparability (22-9159)

• SSL - Retaining Clip; Latches BTB connectors together (80-9159)
