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.
