TE Connectivity LUMAWISE Power Input Terminal Block (TB)

TE Connectivity’s LUMAWISE Power Input Terminal Block (TB) offers a unique, highly engineered wire termination alternative to traditional terminal blocks utilized in LED outdoor lighting luminaires and HID (High-Intensity Discharge) luminaires. This includes HPS (High-Pressure Sodium) and MHL (Metal Halide Lamps), which are rapidly transitioning to LED luminaires. The innovative design replaces power entry aluminum lug screw connections with rising vice clamp screw connections. Quick-connect tabs and receptacle wire connections are replaced with lever-actuated spring cage clamp poke-in wire connections. 

The LUMAWISE TB provides 3x power input connections and multi-position signal connections inside LED roadway/street/area luminaires. The terminal block rising vice clamp screw design accepts 14AWG to 6AWG solid and stranded copper and aluminum input wires. The lever-actuated poke-in wire spring clamp design accepts 18AWG to 12AWG solid and stranded copper output wires. The LUMAWISE Power Input Terminal Block is designed with 2x side mounting hole slots to facilitate a drop-in replacement of legacy terminal blocks.
