Greetings Electronics Guru's
I'm new to this and need some advice on an LED fixture I'm designing for retail. It's an LED Grow Light for indoor gardening. It is a 2'x4' fixture made from formed sheet aluminum. It has 4 LED modules adhered to the sheet aluminum. The modules are 44" long and 3/4" wide. Each module requires a constant current 54 vdc at 1.4 amps. I was previously using 150 w drivers that produce 2.8amps at 54vdc for every two modules. I worked with the driver manufacturer and produced a combo driver - it has two 150w drivers in one case. It has a power receptacle and three way selector knob on one end and a 4 pin DIN receptacle on the other end. The knob selects which driver is getting power. Position A lights up the two inside modules, Position B lights up the two outside modules, and Position C lights up all modules. I use the same 4 pin DIN receptacle on the fixture side and have a 10-15' cable with male 4 pin DIN connectors to connect the driver and the fixture.
SO here is my questions: The 4 pin DIN connector I am using lists a max voltage of 48v at 7.5 amps. I am under amps but slightly over volts. Does anyone know of a better 4 pin connector that I can use to connect the fixture and the driver? I want to keep the two pieces separate and connected with a cable. If there is not a standard connector that will work with those specifications can anyone recommend a manufacturer of connectors who can make something custom for me?
