Tyco Electronics has a solderless LED socket, Type
CM, for integration of the Cree XLamp MP-L multichip LED into light fixtures.
The socket provides a termination for the XLamp
MP-L LED's six 0.60mm2 connection pads that are mounted on the top of the LED.
It is offered in two versions to suit wire or board
applications - each version is offered with or without attachment features for
optics.
The wire termination version incorporates a Tyco
Electronics AMP mini CT connector header that mates to a cable mounted AMP mini
CT plug.
This version allows the XLamp MP-L LED to be
mounted directly to the heat sink using a thermally conductive adhesive. The
board termination version, suitable for PCB-mount applications, provides a
solderless termination directly to the PCB from the XLamp MP-L LED.
