PwrBlok® Connectors
PwrBlok® connectors provide a high current power interconnection with a quick connect/disconnect function for space-constrained board-to-board, board-to-busbar, and busbar-to-busbar power distribution applications.
PwrLoPro®
PwrLoPro® connectors are a family of board-to-board power connectors designed to deliver more current with lower profile height and less board space. This high-density and low-profile connector is developed to meet next-generation of 1U applications, telecommunications switches, high-end servers, and hot-pluggable power suppliers.
PwrMAX® G2 Power Connector
PwrMAX® G2 is the highest density blind-mate power and signal connector available. PwrMAX® G2 series carries up to 100A per contact and features design improvements to reduce board space depth, while also improving the blind mate gatherability. The depth on board has been reduced from 32.4mm to 27.4mm with an overall space savings of 18%.
PwrMAX® I/O Cable Connector System
PwrMAX® I/O is the highest density power and signal cable connector available. It is capable of carrying up to 50A/Contact (100A/column) with 12 adjacent contacts powered. A range of 6AWG - 8AWG wire options are available for power contacts and 22AWG for signal contacts. This connector series also offers slide-to-lock or squeeze-to-release latching options.
PwrMAX® Ortho Power Connector
100 A ORTHOGONAL APPLICATION POWER CONNECTOR
The PwrMAX® Ortho power connector offers a compact means for connecting up to 100A DC power in a PCB edge-to-PCB edge application. The blind mate connector offers low resistance to satisfy modern orthogonal systems architectures.
PwrMAX® Power Connector
HIGH-DENSITY POWER AND SIGNAL CONNECTOR SYSTEM
The PwrMAX® connector family offers a compact means for connecting up to 100A DC power in modern system architectures requiring high density and high current. Configurations include coplanar, backplane, mezzanine, and orthogonal.
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.
