Straddle mount power connectors for thicker PCBs

These new solutions can also accommodate a +/-10% tolerance in thickness. In addition, these connectors retain the same reliable and efficient mechanical and electrical performances found in other HPCEconnectors, allowing them to meet the most stringent requirements in the market.

Yu Dong, Product Director at FCI, comments: “Increasing the versatility of our HPCEproduct range with solutions for thicker PCBs is a natural progression as engineering designs and demands continue to diversify and evolve. This development ensures our HPCE straddle mount power connectors have the flexibility to host PCBs of varying thickness and are equipped with the capabilities to support the latest applications.”

FCI’s HPCE power connector category is furnished with strong current carrying capabilities, making them ideal components for demanding AC and DC power supply systems. These solutions’ compact and low profile packages also make them ideal for add-in card applications in increasingly tight system architectures.

FCI’s HPCE connectors maximize airflow with their low profile height, which facilities high linear current density and low contact resistance. These power components are also modularly tooled to make them highly configurable in terms of the number and placement of power and signal contacts. These attributes make the HPCE power connector family ideal for the next generation 1U/2U servers, storage enclosures, telecommunications equipment and networking equipment.
