Streetlighting is subject to widely adopted standards maintained by ANSI and Zhaga to provide for interoperability between multiple vendor products. TE Connectivity (TE) provides a range of standards-compliant products for new lighting equipment designs.

TE supplies a comprehensive portfolio of standard and custom interconnect solutions for street and area lighting, including streetlight control interfaces, sensors, power and data connectors, relays, powerline filters, and labels.  

 

These TE solutions help lighting equipment manufacturers to satisfy the growing demand for smarter street and urban lighting. Using the TE portfolio, manufacturers can integrate or replace products in fixtures and assemblies to improve production and accelerate time-to-market.  

 

Key functions in street and area lighting are supported by the TE product range. For instance, lighting controls may be used to reduce the waste of energy caused when luminaires operate at full intensity even when the light is not needed. TE products supporting lighting controls are LUMAWISE motion sensors, ANSI and Zhaga streetlighting photocells, ANSI streetlighting base assemblies, and Zhaga Book 18-compliant bases and covers.  

 

Many equipment manufacturers produce designs that need to be compliant with ANSI C136 

and Zhaga Book 18 standards while offering long lifetime when exposed to harsh outdoor conditions. TE products for optimizing the assembly design include:  

  • ANSI C136-compliant dimming receptacles 
  • Zhaga Book 18-compliant receptacles and connectors 
  • LUMAWISE shorting and open caps 
  • Push Grip insulated wire connectors 

 

The TE portfolio for street and area lighting also includes a range of products for interconnection and wire management:  

  • BUCHANAN WireMate connectors 
  • Micro MATE-N-LOK connectors 
  • SlimSeal connectors 
  • LIGHT-N-LOK connectors 
  • IDC Poke-In wire connectors 
  • Precision resistors 
  • SCHRACK power PCB relay 
  • Push Grip insulated wire connectors 
  • Twist Splice wire connectors 
  • Cable glands 
  • LUMAWISE power input terminal block 
  • ENTRELEC terminal blocks 
  • Labels and markers 
  • Terminals and splices
