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.
