Amphenol Commercial BrightConnX FLM Series DALI Connectors
Amphenol Commercial BrightConnX FLM Series DALI Connectors conform to Zhaga Book 20 standards and provide a two-position interface for DALI-2 lighting applications. These devices incorporate a dimple latch with Poka-Yoke alignment to secure mating and support tool-less poke-in and crimp termination options. The FLM series comes with multiple configuration options, including SMT receptacles at right angles, vertical layouts, and plug housings with finger-proof contact protection. These components offer a current rating of up to 7A with 18AWG wiring, a voltage rating of 250V, and an operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C. The FLM series DALI connectors serve indoor luminaires and support applications such as light level sensing, presence detection, air quality monitoring, temperature sensing, and audio sensing.

My high school librarian used to say something about books being a way to shed light on new subjects. I always took that as a figure of speech, but it turns out it’s a bit more literal thanks to the Zhaga consortium defining interface specifications known as Books. Amphenol ICC’s FLM series connectors was chosen as the design standard for the Zhaga Book 20, which specifies DALI interface connectors for indoor luminaires.
The connectors have a low-profile dimple latch for secure mating and easy unmating, while a Poka Yoke design ensures proper alignment. Pin contact connectors are offered in PCB mount variants for wire-to-board applications or as wire termination housings for use with crimp contacts in wire-to-wire applications. PCB receptacles are surface mounted and offered in vertical or right-angle variants and have molded mounting pegs to aid assembly and soldering. Sockets feature a finger-proof design and are available for use with crimp contacts or with integrated contacts that provide tool-free poke-in termination.
