Amphenol CS PwrBlade® connectors

Amphenol CS's PwrBlade® connectors include power and signal contacts to provide power distribution and power control in a single connector. Options for either vertical or right-angle versions of PCB-mount headers and receptacles deliver support for coplanar, backplane or mezzanine connections. The connectors are ideal for robust power connections to embedded AC-DC power supplies or for board-to-board connections in servers, storage enclosures and communications equipment.

PwrBlade® connectors can be provided with one to 20 power contacts and zero to 148 signal contacts. Individual power contacts are rated at 48A current-carrying capacity; connector configurations with multiple power contacts are rated at 30A per power contact as tested for +30°C temperature rise in still air. An available cable port option provides segregated AC contacts for cable pass-through applications.
