Lighting plays a key role in smart cities and intelligent buildings. The use of LED lighting products and systems is growing substantially for both new and existing applications. Modern lights, especially street lighting, come with sensors that detect live traffic and pedestrian information and feed this back to monitoring centers concerned about safety and resource utilization. Amphenol offers lighting connectors for dimming and sensor applications in IoT-based street lighting, which is governed by two well-known lighting standards in the industry, ANSI/NEMA and Zhaga.
As a member of the Zhaga Consortium, Amphenol is furthering innovation in LED lighting by supporting new connector design ideas. Our Zhaga Book 20 connectors are ideal for interior lighting and intended to support DALI protocol. Beyond street and road lighting, modern indoor and outdoor lighting in the commercial and industrial sectors are equipped with enhanced competences. Amphenol has designed solutions that support Power over Ethernet (PoE), are capable of Cat5E performance and protect against harsh weather with IP67 sealing.
FLA Series Dimming Receptacle - ANSI C136-41
FLA Series Dimming Receptacle - ANSI C136.41 is designed with power and dimming/signal contacts to provide a connection between dimmable photocell and the luminaire for commercial and utility lighting. The locking type receptacles are compliant with ANSI C136-10. FLA Dimming Receptacle comes with UL94V-0 high temperature resistant housing and is rated up to 15A per power contact.

FLB Series Bases and Domes - ANSI C136-41
The FLB series base assembly provides a platform for a customer-supplied PCBA providing photocell or other control functionality. The FLB base mates with the FLA series receptacle and utilizes twist lock technology to provide a secure, integrated power and signal interface solution for use in roadway and area lighting applications. The FLB series cover couples with the base to provide IP66 protection (per IEC 60529) for the mated photocell/control assembly. All base assembly components meet the UL94V-0 flammability rating, and the cover meets the UL94-5VA flammability rating.
