12.90mm (.508”) Pitch Power Edge™ Power Connector FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS High Current Connector For Direct Mating To Card Edge PCB Or Bus Bar Tabs for Power Applications Up To 40.0A Power Edge is a high current connector for direct Gold plating, with redundant interface points for mating to a customer’s 1.58mm (.062”) thick, double- optimum mating with double-sided card edge contacts. sided card edge PCB or bus bar tab. Power Edge The Power Edge contact is rated for currents up to connectors can be combined (stacked end-to-end) to 40.0A, offering a 25% higher current rating compared mate with multiple bus bar tabs or card edges up to to competing connectors. The additional current 8.00” (203.20mm) for power distribution applications. provides the customer with an increased power or safety factor for their application. Power Edge uses The Power Edge contact incorporates proven Molex the same PCB footprint and is end-to-end stackable design elements of high performance Copper Alloy and with competing products. 45714 Vertical Assembly, Press-Fit Tails 45719 Vertical Assembly, Solder Tails Features and Benefits ■ Connector assemblies available in two, three and four segments (two contacts per segment) provide greater flexibility for power distribution applications ■ End-to-end stackable segments provide greater flexibility for card edge requirements up to 203.20mm (8.00”) in length ■ 40.0A current rating per contact for high current requirements, 25% more current per contact than competing headers ■ Isolated segments on opposing contacts provide option for different power voltage levels on either side of the board; for example, ground return on one side and power return on the other side ■ Press-fit or solder tail terminations are compatible with standard PCB’s or Backplanes ■ Rated for current interruption matches true hotplugging capabilities ■ Compatible with competitive connector allows dropin replacement SPECIFICATIONS Reference Information Packaging: Tray UL File No.: E29179 CSA File No.: Pending TUV File No.: Pending Mates With: Customer’s .062” Thick Card Edge or Bus Bar Tab Designed In: Millimeters Electrical Voltage: 250V Current: 40.0A per contact Contact Resistance: 1 mΩ max.
