BJB Taiwan Electric Corporation is the subsidiary in Taiwan of a German company named BJB GmbH & Co. KG. The brand, BJB, has been promoting in Taiwan markets in the past 25 years. Therefore, BJB is one important partner with lighting manufacturers in Taiwan.

BJB is a company over 140 years old, specialized in lighting components as the leading manufacturer globally, with an annual turnover of approx. 110 million €. In recent years we have been in corporations with many world leading companies regarding the LED connectors of which the wire soldering is no longer necessary.

LEDs increasingly present the lighting and domestic appliance industry with new challenges. Key considerations here are the selection of suitable light sources and their positioning and fixing within the light fitting. Other barriers to the use of LEDs are the questions of contacting and heat management. The possibility of replacement in case of failure is still largely unresolved, as is the simple use of suitable optics for light direction and bundling.

Some high-intensity LEDs offered today come with an emitter mounted on a “STARboard”. The “STARboard” is fixed by screws. However, contact is by means of conductors which are soldered on, so that, in case of repair, the LED can only be replaced by a specialist!

Many light fitting manufacturers are demanding a connector which will eliminate these difficulties. BJB has therefore developed a system for LED STARboards which greatly simplifies the use of LEDs in light fittings.

The connectors (version depends on the planned LED) and the STARboard are both fixed with two screws. Electrical contact is by means of two pushwire terminals. The optic holder is clipped onto the connector, and the optical system itself clips into this. The complete assembly process takes place without any soldering or gluing.

With our attachment and connectors, LED STARboards from many manufacturers can be conected and fitted with optical systems without the need for soldering or gluing.
