MOLEX 46818-0001

Exceed high-current and reliability demands in top-end server and high-power
applications with Molex’s compact, EXTreme Guardian™ header and cable
system assembly
EXTreme Guardian™ header and cable assemblies, previously named EXTreme
Power™ Interconnect (EPIC), features small package sizes with a centerline
pitch of 11.00mm. The system supports up to 80.0A per contact, provides good
shielding characteristics in EMI-sensitive environments, features hot-plugging
capabilities and UL safety features.
