High speed connectors have increased current-carrying capability

19 April 2006 Interconnection

Erni has practically doubled the current-carrying capacity of its popular ERmet power modules by adopting a new contact material. The 3-pin power modules are now able to handle currents of more than 18 A (at 20°C) per contact.

At the same time, the new power connectors make it possible to reduce warming at comparable currents. Pre-mating contacts make it possible to implement hot-swap applications.

The right-angle male contacts with press-fit termination are configured for power supply on daughter cards in combination with 2 mm ERmet connectors according to IEC 61076-4-101. Furthermore, the ERmet power modules, which are 12 mm wide, are also compatible with other 2 mm and DIN41612 connectors. ERmet power modules comply with the RoHS directives.

The ERmet family of connectors, with a 2,0 mm pitch, and compliant with IEC 61076-4-101, is used primarily in telecommunications, networking and IPCs. These connectors can be used to reliably transfer data at rates up to 1 Gbps. Erni makes the ERmet connectors available with seven rows of contacts (five signal rows and two shield rows) or with 10 rows (eight for signals and two for shielding).
