LED luminaires and sensors or communication modules. In fact, the Zhaga Consortium chose the Amphenol FLM Series as the Zhaga Book 20 standard. Two complementary members of the Amphenol ICC FLM series illustrate the Book 20 standard in practice: the FLM-P21-00 SSL two-contact connector receptacle housing for pin-contact cable/wire to cable/wire connections, and the FLM-S21-00 two-contact SSL plug housing for socket-contact cable/wire to cable/wire. Other surface mount technology (SMT) models feature right angle and vertical configurations for design- in flexibility (Figure 6).

Among the features of this series are:
■ A plug that is available on reel with crimp socket contacts or poke-in wire termination options to allow high-volume assembly or easy field assembly/servicing Of course, many intended LED applications are not as benign as ordinary indoor settings. The requirements of such applications can be satisfied with the FLH Series of wire-to-wire IP67- rated (sealed and waterproof) connectors including the FLH-P31- 00—a three-position rectangular housing receptacle with a pitch of 2.50 mm—and the corresponding FLH-S31-00 rectangular housing plug (Figure 7); versions with up to six contacts are also offered.
■ Separable interfaces with a “poka yoke” geometry (meaning “fool-proof” or “mistake proof”), which ensures correct mating alignment ■ An available plug with tool-less poke-in termination ■ An integrated low-profile dimple-latch feature that provides five newtons minimum of retention force for secure mating yet with easy unmating
