Eliminate potential damage from hot-plug conditions
A 100A hot-swap cable connector, which accepts up to a 25mm2 (4 AWG) wire, has been released by FCI. The Pwr TwinBlade connector includes engagement sensing contacts to indicate when the power contacts are connected, eliminating potential damage from hot-plug conditions.
The cable connector is a next-gen cable-to board DC power distribution connector supporting more than 140A per linear inch. The Pwr TwinBlade connector is rated at 100A per power contact without exceeding a 30°C temperature rise in still air, using 25mm² wire. The cable connector is offered in both straight and right angle cable exits and can be terminated to either a PCB or a Busbar.
The Pwr TwinBlade connector was designed to meet the performance and qualification requirements common in the telecomms, datacomms, server and data storage, and industrial control industries.
“The Pwr TwinBlade power cables are a suitable way to distribute from 1kW to 5kW of DC power between circuit boards, Busbars or sub-assemblies, with minimal power loss,” said Michael Blanchfield, Portfolio Director, Power Solutions, FCI.
