Interconnection


Individually-shrouded interconnects

12 March 2003 Interconnection

The Power Mate Series interconnects from Samtec are designed for isolated power and signal transfer in board-to-board and wire-to-board applications.

The robust IPBS Series 4,20 mm pitch board socket mates with the IPBT Series header for isolated connection in parallel or perpendicular board orientations. The IPBD Series discrete wire socket is available to mate to the IPBT Series header for a wire-to-board connection. A guidepost feature has been included as standard for proper registration before connection in blind mate board-to-board scenarios. The formed dual wipe female contacts within the IPBS and IPBD sockets provide a reliable electrical connection in harsh environments. A latching mechanism is also included as standard to provide secondary retention for the IPBD discrete wire socket when mated to the IPBT board mounted header.

The Power Mate family of interconnects may be used to transfer up to 15 A of current through each contact in board-to-board applications (IPBS/IPBT Series) and up to 12 A of current in wire-to-board situations (IPBD/IPBT Series). Pin counts are available from 4-30 contacts for all three versions in a dual row design.
