Power and signal connectors

EXTreme Ten60Power from Molex is a modular high-current power and signal connector system in a coplanar and right-angle board-to-board orientation.
Designed as a higher-current and lower-profile power interconnect than existing connectors, the system provides high current-to-length ratio packaged in a low-profile, 10,00 mm-height housing that enhances system airflow within the power system.
Both the plug and receptacle utilise reliable, proven Molex power and signal contact designs. Featuring tighter-pitch signal contacts than the original Molex 24-signal, 3-row (2,54 x 2,54 mm) version, the 25-signal, 5-row (2,00 x 1,65 mm) modules are suitable for all board-to-board applications. Additionally, the new HDS modules have both solder tail and press fit options, further increasing the design flexibility for customers.
EXTreme Ten60Power modules are available in 250 or 600 V versions. They have a range of 1 to 10 power blade modules with UL/CSA of 60 A per blade and 6 to 40 signals. The robust contact design accommodates AC (7,50 mm power pitch spacing), DC (5,50 mm) and signal.
An array of module options makes the system highly configurable and includes: three different mating lengths – end-mount, top-mount, or side-mount guide modules; voided power positions; and right-angle and vertical mount connectors for co-planar or perpendicular designs. Customers can customise the modules to meet individual requirements without tooling costs or long lead times.
Ideal for various networking applications, EXTreme Ten60Power connectors can be found in chassis based systems, co-planar board-to-board power applications, power supplies and servers together with routers in telecommunications and Industrial controllers. The connectors are suitable for UL 1977 current interruption rating for hot plug applications.
