GJ6.6 Standards

For the massive potential of LED lighting to be achieved, a connector system dedicated to providing a safe and reliable means of installing and operating linear LED lamps is required. Through a collaboration with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), National Electrical Manufactures Association (NEMA), Underwriters Laboratory (UL), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and several leading lighting manufacturers, this critical need has been met. The Snap-Fit™ connector system is now adopted in North America as a collection of approved industry standards for ballast bypass (Type B) and low voltage external driver (Type C) installations under the designation “GJ6.6.” International adoption through the IEC is anticipated. The Snap-Fit™ system is the only standardized fit system for the T-LED lighting market.

The standards include grounded, non-grounded, and low voltage options, and also address lamps having power pins at only one end. Each version is differentiated by its pin arrangement to assure compatibility between lamps and lamp holders for every available voltage.​

The GJ6.6 Snap-Fit™ system provides a sensible alternative to the current market reliance on the G13 fit system, which was designed to run through a ballasted lighting system and secure lighter-weight fluorescent lamps. DVA Holdings’ patents essential to the GJ6.6 standards are available for license so that all manufacturers can incorporate this first-ever fit system into their T-LED lighting products. Licenses are available under patents addressing the full range of approved standards.
UL has certification options designed to allow for UL Certification of products utilizing the G6.6J Snap-Fit system. Manufacturers of GJ6.6 T-LED lamps and lamp holders now have a quick and low-cost certification process for gaining UL Certification of their products. The installation of their products and the legacy fixtures into which they are installed will conform to associated codes. This means that building owners can now safely implement Type B and Type C T-LED lamp retrofit projects with fewer risk for code violations or implicating warranties or insurance coverage.

The “t” represents the third pin, which provides a grounded lamp end cap and holder system.

The GJ6.6t is the first standardized linear lamp holder that provides a mechanical and/or isolated grounding system for T-LED lamps. Legacy G13 fluorescent lamp end caps and holders do not offer grounding, creating a potentially unsafe and non-code-compliant system.

The GJ6.6t is ideal for Type B ballast bypass lamps and provides for safe and secure installation and operation for voltage levels up to 350 V.

The GJ6.6d-2 provides a two-pin option for low-voltage Type C lamps powered from an external driver.

It has a different pin arrangement to allow for specific keying standardization for low voltage products, removing all risk of installing the wrong LED lamp into the incorrect voltage.
