Anderson Power Products has added the Power Drawer series of connectors to its product range. The family features blind mating connectors for 35 or 75 A applications. These versatile connectors are used on ‘N + 1’ power supply and rectifier systems for server, telecommunications and network applications. They are UL recognised and are able to mate with competitive products, offering the designer and user further development and sourcing options.
The 35 A connectors can be configured with up to eight #12 AWG power contacts, eight #16 AWG power contacts or a combination of four #16 AWG power contacts, four #12 AWG power contacts and 21 #20 AWG signal contacts. The 75 A variants can be configured with up to four #8 AWG power contacts, nine #12 AWG power contacts and 24 #20 AWG signal contacts. Float mount and printed circuit board mount versions are available for both connectors.
Pin and socket contacts are available for both connectors with crimp, solder cup or printed circuit board termination. In addition, the connector’s pin contacts can be specified for first-mate and last-mate connection, allowing the electronic system to be grounded and mating to be electronically verified before the power circuits are energised.
Anderson Power Products is also offering ‘true hot plug’ contacts to accompany its Power Drawer connector family. The #12 AWG contacts are rated for disconnect interruption up to 25 A. These contacts are available for both the 35 A and 75 A connector families. Designed to correct misalignment during blind mating, the connectors feature integral guide pins, with an optional floating mount used to reduce fatigue stress on the connector during blind mating.
