For the dependable connection of lighting arrays, lighting connectors are essential. Whether the environment is domestic, commercial or industrial, lighting connectors present the safest and most efficient way to hook up lighting systems to mains power.
No matter how complex your lighting set up, whether LED or halogen, lighting connectors present the most convenient way to get connected.
When compared to terminal blocks, the advantages of using lighting connectors are readily apparent. They present a safer, maintenance free alternative to terminal connectors. They also have the advantage of quicker release and connection should you need to reconfigure your lighting array.
Unlike terminal blocks, lighting connectors do not have to be screwed and unscrewed when changed, and often present a more secure, definite connection, giving you not just convenience but peace of mind.
While terminal blocks may afford you the option to customise multiple connections into a single block, this is not always desirable as it increases the scope for error and confusion. Bespoke connectors, on the other hand, offer a straightforward and purpose-built solution.
As a premier provider of industrial and electronic solutions, RS’ range of lighting connectors offer solutions for many applications. Whether it is screw locking, high IP rated connectors for use in harsh and outdoor environments, or convenient snap-in connectors that eliminate the need for soldering or tedious screwing, there is a lighting connector to suit all your needs:
Ensure seamless power delivery and control for your LED or halogen lighting fixtures. These connectors offer compatibility with a wide range of lighting technologies, providing a reliable and efficient link between your light source and the rest of your system
Expand your lighting possibilities and adapt to diverse setups. Couplers enable you to extend cable lengths or join multiple fixtures together, while adapters bridge the gap between different connector types, ensuring compatibility and flexibility.
Simplify troubleshooting and maintenance tasks. In-line connectors create convenient access points within your lighting circuit, allowing for easy testing, repairs or additions without disrupting the entire system.
Protect your lighting investments from the elements. These connectors provide robust defence against moisture, dust and other environmental factors, ensuring reliable performance in outdoor or damp locations.
Streamline your lighting installations with direct and efficient connections. Wire-to-board connectors seamlessly integrate your lighting wires with printed circuit boards (PCBs), minimising clutter and enhancing the overall aesthetic of your light setup.
Our range also includes lighting connector distribution units, purpose-built to simplify complex lighting setups by linking multiple connectors to a single power connection. Their straightforward design and ease of use make them ideal for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. These units typically offer protection against environmental ingress, ensuring outdoor suitability and reliable performance even in challenging conditions.
Key features of these distribution units include centralised power distribution, eliminating the need for numerous individual connections. They provide multiple connection points to accommodate diverse lighting fixtures and configurations, promoting a clean and organised setup. Their robust construction and sealed connections ensure durability and longevity, while user-friendly designs and clear labelling simplify installation and maintenance.
Many of the lighting connectors, including lighting plugs, are provided with built-in strain relief, meaning the connector actively protects the internal connection to the wire by absorbing and mitigating any stress or pressure applied to the cable. This crucial feature significantly reduces the risk of wire damage, loose connections and premature failure, ultimately ensuring a longer lifespan for your lighting connection and minimising the need for frequent maintenance or replacements of your lights.
