PV® Wire-to-Board and Wire-to-Wire Connector System
VERSATILE DESIGN FOR DEMANDING APPLICATIONS
Amphenol's PV® solution is a versatile and modular system able to meet all the board-to-board, board-to-wire, and wire-to-wire applications where high density outstanding electrical and mechanical performances are required.
PwrBlade+® cable connectors offer flexibility to meet a wide variety of customer needs. The connectors come in both Cable-To-Cable and Cable-To-Board solutions. The PwrBlade+® cable provides a flexible, low-cost solution in applications such as telecommunication switches, high-end servers, and hot-swappable power supplies.
The PwrBlade+® connector is a next-generation AC/DC power distribution connector system for demanding applications requiring higher linear current density and low power loss. It is capable of 192A/linear inch with eight adjacent high power contacts energized simultaneously and 0.7m power contact resistance after environmental exposure.
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.
The PwrBlade® power distribution connector system from Amphenol includes power and signal contacts to provide power distribution and power control in a single connector. Options for either vertical or right-angle versions of PCB-mount headers and receptacles deliver support for coplanar, backplane, or mezzanine connections.
PwrBlade® Mini Board-to-Board connector enhances Amphenol's existing PwrBlade® product line with the smallest profile to date. PwrBlade® Mini has an 8.10mm height above board, making it the lowest height power and signal board-to-board connector in the PwrBlade® portfolio. PwrBlade® Mini has a very low end-of-life contact resistance less than 2.0mΩ after testing
PwrBlade® Mini Cable-to-Board strengthens the PwrBlade® cable portfolio even further. Mini cable-toboard serves as an I/O cable configuration to meet the ever-increasing demand for higher current density in low profile applications. Mini cable-to-board is capable of carrying up to 25A/contact (50A/column) with 4 adjacent contacts powered.
The PwrBlade® Mini connector series introduces enhanced features to our existing PwrBlade® products in a smaller profile. PwrBlade® MiniMezz is available in stack heights ranging from 8mm - 20mm with options for power & signal contacts. It also has blind-mate guides that allow for ±0.80mm of gatherability for blind-mate applications.
PwrBlade® ULTRA's design offers an overall height reduction of 24% to reduce airflow impedance in high-density power supplies. Three contact choices are available; High Power, Low Power, and Signal. Ultra-high conductivity materials and new highly conductive plating, combine to produce an ultra-low resistance of just 0.4mΩ at end-of-life conditions.
HIGH POWER BOARD-TO-BOARD CONNECTOR SYSTEM
Amphenol's new, PwrBlade® ULTRA HD+ connector series features an enhanced high-power contact design capable of providing up to 100A per contact (per 4 adjacent contacts) and high-density signal options with up to 6 signal pins per column.
