PwrBlade® Connectors

Amphenol FCI 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. These 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. Amphenol FCI PwrBlade Connectors feature 1 to 20 power contacts and 0 to 148 signal contacts. Individual power contacts have a 48A current-carrying capacity, and 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.
