POWER SOLUTIONS PWRBLADE+™ Next Generation AC/DC Power Distribution Connector System OVERVIEW The PwrBlade+TM 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 0.7mpower contact resistance after environmental exposure. The PwrBlade+TM connector builds on the PwrBlade® connector’s proven technology but includes enhancements to achieve increased performance and density. It is rated up to 75A per power contact without exceeding a 30°C temperature rise in still air. This product features an innovative high power contact design and housing that allows higher current carrying capability in a more compact package. The high power contact features an optimized beam design and material property enhancements that significantly increase linear current density making it ideal for next generation 1U/2U servers, storage enclosures, telecommunications equipment and datacom/networking equipment. The PwrBlade+TM connector also features a highly vented housing design, a low power contact option for applications with multiple voltages and lower power requirements and half-bullet guides for a reduced connector footprint. The PwrBlade+TM connector is available with power and signal contacts integrated into a single molded housing for power distribution and power control. Similar to other FCI power solutions, it is modularly tooled making the product highly configurable in terms of the number and placement of the power and signal contacts for custom power needs. Right angle and co-planar options are available to accommodate various system architectures. FEATURES & BENEFITS • High power contact option (up to 75A/contact; 30°C temperature rise in still air) for cost-effective power delivery in 1U and 2U power supplies or power distribution applications • Right angle and co-planar options are available with both power contacts for power distribution and signal contacts for power control • Low power contact option (up to 49A/contact; 30°C temperature rise in still air) for applications with multiple voltages and lower power requirements • Solder or press-fit tails are available for termination flexibility • Highly vented housing design maximizes heat dissipation for effective system cooling TARGET MARKETS/APPLICATIONS • Number and placement of power and signal contacts are highly configurable for custom power needs • Compatible with lead-free processing temperatures • Half-bullet guides offer a reduced connector footprint • AC/DC pluggable power supplies in data, telecom & datacom/networking equipment • Large operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) for extreme environments • Industrial PCs • Industrial contro
