Interconnection


Connectors carry power and 24 signals

25 November 2009 Interconnection

Anderson Power Products (APP) has announced a new addition to the PowerMod PSX family of PCB products with the release of mixed power and 24-signal versions of the product line.

The low-profile family of connectors is designed for applications where board space is at a premium and overall mating heights must be minimised. They are suitable for power connections to embedded AC-DC power supplies or for board-to-board connections in servers, storage enclosures and communications equipment.

The reduced signal pin offering of 24 versus 80 reduces the overall size of the connector. The streamlined design of the PowerMod PSX offers enhanced performance with power contacts in a multipole configuration rated to 30 A at a 30°C temperature rise in air and 60 A per UL 1977. The signal contacts are rated to 1 A each. Configurations are available in either one power contact on either side of the signal contacts or with two power contacts on either side. Both versions are offered in vertical and right angle male and female connectors to deliver support for coplanar, backplane or mezzanine connections.
