Streetlight with Public Wi-Fi

Application:
Smart Cities.

Background:
During the development of these ultra-compact replacement streetlights, the design required a connection between internal PCBs to use a horizontal spring contact for easy manufacturing.

The Challenge:
These streetlight heads add public WiFi from 4G/5G reception to communal areas – but using existing light poles means the head unit must still be compact, lightweight and self-contained, ready to install.

Harwin Solution:
By using the multi-directional spring contact in the horizontal orientation, both space and weight is saved in comparison to pogo pin connections. Board-to-board connection is fast and easy during production.

Situation:
Applications on the FA-18 fighter jet and the Cheetah M-ATV utilized ARINC connectors mated with circuit boards.

• A mechanism to provide an easier installation of dozens of discrete contacts onto a PCB was needed.
• More ruggedized contacts able to withstand the continuous exposure to high shock and vibration while offering lower insertion force were required.

Solution:
IEH engineers designed press-fit Hyperboloid Contacts encased in a pin carrier to allow a one-step installation onto a PCB. This saved assembly time and provided the uninterrupted connectivity performance associated with Hyperboloid technology, a necessity in harsh environments.
