Power drawer connectors

22 July 2015 Interconnection

Anderson Power Products has added the Power Drawer series, featuring blind mating connectors for 35 or 75 A applications. These connectors are designed for N + 1 power supply and rectifier systems in 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 models 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 #12AWG power contacts or 24 #20 AWG signal contacts. Float mount and PCB mount versions are available for both connectors.

Pin and socket contacts are available for both connectors with crimp, solder cup or PCB termination. In addition, the connectors’ pin contacts can be specified for first-mate and last-mate connection, allowing the electronic system to be grounded and mating electronically verified before the power circuits are energised.

Complementing both Power Drawer connectors are ‘true hot plug’ contacts that accept #12 AWG wires and are rated for disconnect interruption up to 25 A. 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.
