ENGINEERING & MECHANICAL SPECS
Ultra-Compact CAD Blueprint & Port Protection
Designed for the smallest form factor so OEMs can integrate controls into ultra-slim linear, architectural, and outdoor luminaires.
0.35" × 0.68" × 0.48"
Requires minimal internal driver-channel clearance, fitting effortlessly into narrow linear extrusions, troffers, high-bays, and outdoor area luminaires.
Conceals & Protects
When controls aren't initially needed, the patented USB-C Port Plug seals and protects the luminaire port until a sensor node is plugged in on site.
Full UART & I2C Hardware Control
Combines DC power delivery with full UART and I2C digital communication for advanced driver control, telemetry, and multi-sensor data.
Rapid Assembly-Line Setup
OEM-friendly plug-in receptacle architecture standardizes factory wiring on the assembly line, eliminating custom per-project SKU rework.
Patented USB-C Port Plug
Conceals and protects the receptacle against moisture and dust when controls aren't initially deployed, enabling instant field upgrades anytime.
Compact Factor & Audio-Jack
Exclusive utility licenses cover both USB-C and audio-jack receptacles in luminaires, supporting internal mounts and external knockout adapters.
