TE Connectivity BUCHANAN WireMate ITB Releasable Poke-in Connectors

Inverted Thru-Board (ITB) connectors join the BUCHANAN WireMate family from TE Connectivity (TE), specially designed for use in linear and circular LED modules found in all sorts of commercial and industrial lighting systems. The unique headers enable power delivery from the underside of the PCB and LED arrays, eliminating top-surface wire management issues. With their easy-to-use poke-in and wire release features, the new connectors help shorten installation time and provide extra flexibility for reuse and wire replacement.

The reduced profile of the connector takes only 2mm in height above the PCB top surface while horizontal wire insertion minimizes space usage beneath the PCB. The connectors are modular in design, available for up to five wire connections and in different colors to help installers avoid mistakes when inserting wires. The connectors conform to the UL 1977 standard for component connectors for use in data, signal, control and power applications.
