High-power pluggable terminal blocks
17 May 2006
Interconnection
The EuroMax high-power pluggable terminal blocks from Molex complement its existing 600 V fixed (one-piece) high-power terminal block family. The EuroMax interconnect system offers design engineers a two-piece pluggable system and the highest amperage solution in the industry with up to 85,0 A per circuit at 600 V, according to the company. This interconnect system is well-suited for a variety of high-power industrial applications, such as motors and drives, process controls, electrical energy controls and load control systems.
Available in a horizontal plug and right-angle header version, it features an additional pluggability advantage for easy servicing or field repair and replacement. It offers a highly redundant parallel contact system to maximise performance, and all hardware components are copper-based alloys to optimise thermal compatibility. The high-temperature housing material allows it to withstand lengthy solder pre-heat conditions. The header blade features three PCB tails, providing a robust PCB connection.
The EuroMax interconnect system is available in two to 10 circuits and up to eight circuits for the versions with optional mounting ends that provide added security.
