About
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 Electrotecnical 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.

GJ6.6T Two Pin with Additional Ground Pin
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.

GJ6.6d-1 Two Pin for Double Insulated Driver
The GJ6.6d-1 is a two-pin end cap and holder design for T-LED lamps with a “double insulated” internal driver, often used for lower watt and lumen output products.

GJ6.6d-2 Two Pin for Low Voltage
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.

GJ6.6 No Power End
The GJ6.6 end cap and holder provide a mechanical hold for the non-powered end of the lamp, allowing for unmistakable and safe installation.
