DESCRIPTION
POWER CONNECTORS
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.
Adjacent power contacts are positioned
on 2.54mm pitch along the card edge.
Power contacts are manufactured using a
high-conductivity copper alloy.Each power
contact is rated for up to 7A current
measured at 30°C temperature rise in still
air.Signal contacts arepositioned on
1.27mm pitch.
The connector range includes options for
right-angle, vertical, or straddle-mount
solder termination with a full complement
of power contacts. Right-angle options also
include versions that combine power and
power control signal contacts or power
contacts and an integrated AC pass-through
port in a single connector.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
One-piece card edge design provides cost-effective power
delivery with capacity for up to 7A per power contact
Narrow connector body enables use in 1U servers and
power supplies
Low-profile design helps maximize airflow for system cooling
Option for integration of signals and power in a single
right-angle connector supports both power control and
power distribution
Integrated connector design simplifies board assembly
Right-angle product range includes versions with molded
posts or metal fork-locks for retention
Straddle-mount connectors feature mounting ears for secure
PCB attachment
An optional AC cable port enables a cable pass-through
solution
RoHS compatible design enables compliance with
environmental regulations
