FCI has added high power modules to its Metral family of 2 mm backplane connectors to address customer requirements for increased current-carrying capacity between the backplane and daughtercards in chassis systems. The right-angle daughtercard connectors are available with either 1x2 or 2x2 contact configurations per 12 mm module. Each module has a total current-carrying capacity of up to 80 A and a voltage rating of 150 V. The corresponding backplane connector features protected contact openings and is UL1950 (Finger Probe) compliant.
These modules are designed so contacts are flat except for minimal forming at the plug connector's mating interfaces, which enables the use of high conductivity base metal. Airflow passages in the insulating connector bodies allow air to flow through. These design features contribute to its higher current capacity.
The Metral modules use an 'eye of the needle' compliant tail for press-fit PCB termination. The daughtercard connectors use the same 10,8 mm press height as five-row signal modules in FCI's Standard Metral or 1000-, 2000-, and 4000-Series Metral high-speed backplane offerings.
