58-9159 Series | Shorting Socket

The 9159 series of Board-to-Board interconnect system allows two PCBs 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.
