KEY FEATURES

• Design combines thermal and electrical

connections to the hexagonal “Star”

LED board configurations offered by LED

manufacturers such as Philips/Lumileds,

Cree, Osram, Seoul Semiconductor, and

Nichia

• Design allows for versatility in mounting

monochromatic and RGB “Star” LEDs

without the need for solder (Note: RGB

uses 4 wire common anode)

• Consists of a heat sink, locking ring, and

contact carrier

• 3 Watts using standard Tyco Electronics

heatsink* tooled to fit in standard

GU10/MR16 light fixtures

• Design fits into the same envelope as

an MR16 with it’s socket

• Optional Tyco Electronics diffuser lens

available

• Optional Tyco Electronics integral LED

driver available

• Standard 110 FASTON Receptacle quick

connects for easy Class 2 power wiring

• LED Holder allows for replacement of

the star board after installation and can

accommodate star board thicknesses in

the range of 1.0mm to 2.5mm

* NOTICE: A Proper LED Thermal Management Plan is Required for All High Power LED Applications. The standard Tyco

Electronics heatsink was tested under 40 degree ambient conditions inside a typical GU10 style semi-enclosed track light

fixture without any forced air cooling using a Philips LUMILEDS LUXEON III LED. Higher or lower wattage LEDs can be

used with this holder if the application conditions are appropriate. The application conditions to be considered include:

ambient temperature, airflow, light fixture design, enclosure volume, holder orientation, thermal interface material, the

selected LED's thermal characteristics/limitations, and other application specific factors. The customer will need to test

their fixture with their selected LED under the expected ambient conditions of the final application to determine if their

complete application meets the LED's junction temperature requirements as specified by the LED manufacturer. If the

LED's junction temperature requirements are exceeded, LED failure or reduced LED lumen maintenance can be expect-

ed. Please contact Tyco Electronics for technical assistance regarding this "Star Board" LED Pixel Holder if there are any

questions about High Power LED Thermal Management.
