May 22, 2008... Molex Incorporated of Lisle, Illinois USA, announced that its LED socket technology will on display at LightFair International, Las Vegas, May 28-30. The company’s patent-pending LED socket technology, which was designed with thermal management for compact electronic devices in mind, reduces component count. Addtionally the technology allows automated high-speed pick-and-placement of LEDs and resistors to greatly reduce cycle time and overall cost of mass production. The socket will reportedly be used to support emerging solid state lighting (SSL) technologies including powering Seoul Semiconductor’s Acriche AC LED.

Molex notes that an LED bulb using Seoul Semiconductor’s Acriche AC LED and Molex’s MID technology will be on display in the Seoul Semiconductor booth, number 233. The device can connect with a standard Edison-base, GU 24-base, or custom interface configurations. It has a specially designed heat sink and electrical connections, and it is compatible with reflow solder.
