Paladin® HD 112G Backplane Interconnect System
The Paladin® HD interconnect system provides world-class bandwidth through industry-leading density at 112GB/s performance, supporting up to 144 differential pairs orthogonally within 1U spacing. Paladin HD utilizes a balanced pair structure; built with individually assembled and discretely shielded differential pairs which have a revolutionary hybrid board attachment for maximized density.
PCI
The Compact Power connector series was developed with the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG) as the power interface for plug-in power supplies or other chassis mount applications. It delivers high current through a small package and three levels of sequential mating.
PCS
The PCS Series are versatile, high-current, mixed density connectors with low contact resistance. It remains an industry-leading power connector in the market. Options for one, two, or three contact rows provide flexibility in selection and high conductivity contacts are available to maximize current density. Other options - sequential mating, integrated locking latch, and press-fit contacts.
Perma-Tap® Power Cable Assembly
Perma-Tap® power cable assembly saves space and reduces cost. The wires can be cut, stripped, and terminated to customer-specific lengths. The connector is press-fit to a PCB to provide a compact and secure power delivery solution. A permanent connection between a cable and a PCB with only one connector.
Power Card Edge
The Power Card Edge connectors are a cost-effective system that can be used for DC power output from embedded AC/DC power supplies or for power distribution between boards within an enclosure. The narrow connector body helps maximize airflow for increased cooling and is well-suited for use in 1U rack-mount servers or on power distribution boards inside 1U redundant power supply assemblies.
Power USB Connector
FCI Basics Power USB Connector enables additional power delivery to 5V, 12V, or 24V peripheral devices connected using USB 2.0 cable links. When compared to a standard USB connector, this USB+Power connector interface includes four additional contacts each rated at 5A/contact, to supplement the connector's current-carrying capability. This eliminates the need for a separate power cable.
Precision Test Cables
Amphenol RF offers pre-configured RF test cables designed for high-performance applications requiring minimal insertion and return loss. They are ideal for test and measurement applications and each assembly is tested to ensure electrical and mechanical performance.
Protective Caps
Protective caps are available for many of our products, with options for chains and mounting hardware.
PV® Wire-to-Board Connector System
VERSATILE DESIGN FOR DEMANDING APPLICATIONS
FCI Basics PV® solution is a versatile and modular system able to meet all the board-to-board, board-to-wire, wire-to-wire applications where high density, outstanding electrical and mechanical performances are required.
PwrBlade® Cable Assembly
The PwrBlade® cable connectors are designed to mate to PwrBlade® R/A or vertical board-mounted headers. By expanding beyond BTB applications, designers can now connect power supplies and power distribution sub-assemblies in a wider range of applications. The combination of cable connection capability with Amphenol's proven PwrBlade BTB system provides a universal power distribution connector.
Pwr TwinBlade® Cable Assemblies
The Pwr TwinBlade® cable system is designed to support applications that demand the supply of high power. The Pwr TwinBlade® connectors employ a proven contact system in a touch-proof design that is capable of supporting currents of up to 100A per contact. The new sensing contacts can be used to eliminate the potential for damage from hot-plug conditions.
QMA Connector Series
The QMA connector is a quick disconnect version of the SMA connector and shares the same internal construction, which allows the connector to have excellent performance up to 6 GHz.
QN Connectors
Amphenol RF’s QN connector is a quick disconnect version of the N-Type connector with similar internal construction, which enables fast and easy matings with minimum space requirements.
