BUCHANAN WireMate Connectors
The BUCHANAN WireMate Inverted Thru-Board (ITB) connectors are 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 connectors are modular in design, available for up to five wire connections and in different colors to help installers avoid mistakes when inserting wires.
Ideal for LED Lighting applications, our BUCHANAN WireMate connector Poke-In series is a a 4.0mm pitch connector for wire to board connectivity. The poke-in feature allows for easy and fast wire insertion. A modular version is available in several color configurations enabling a flexible solution with easy identification and assembly.
BUCHANAN WireMate two piece poke-in series of products provide designers a three directional solution for wall mounting a device and improve the overall installation experience for the novice installer. Wires are routed through an opening in the wall to TE’s Buchanan WireMate connector mounted on a wall plate. The wires are stripped of insulation and easily poked into the terminal block device providing a reliable termination without the need for tooling.
Our BUCHANAN WireMate connector Slim Poke-In series is designed for quick and easy wire-to-board connectivity in a low profile, slim form factor. The releasable contact function along with the design for multiple wire sizes allows for convenience in installation and rework. Additionally, the low profile and small footprint allows for high density and compact PCB designs.
Through it's high density and compact design, the BUCHANAN WireMate connector Modular Screwless series is ideal for use in telecommunications equipment, lighting and security systems. The variety of combinations for wire entry and wire release bring flexibility to the design engineer. Wire release is accomplished without special tooling and different color configurations make identification easy.
Our BUCHANAN WireMate connector Surface Mount TB series is a two-piece pluggable solution designed for lighting and building automation applications. Mating plugs are available in vertical or right angle configurations in position sizes from 2 to 12 poles. These products are designed for customers looking to make the change to full SMT printed circuit boards, or looking for a reflow soldering capable product.
Compatible in pottable and non-pottable applications with printed circuit board wave solder processes, our BUCHANAN WireMate connector Vertical Poke-In series allows for insertion of stripped solid conductor wire without special tooling. Designed for permanent connections wire to board in lighting and building automation applications wire is securely held in place but can be removed with an extraction tool, if required.
BUCHANAN WireMate connector Micro Poke-In series is a low profile, printed circuit board connector specifically designed for LED lighting applications. The connector is currently available in a one position version that accepts 24 and 26 AWG solid wire only. The connector is designed with rounded corners to minimize shadowing. The connector is RoHS compliant and is a cost effective alternative to hand soldering wires to printed circuit boards.
