POWER CONNECTORS
Part of the Metral
®
Backpanel Connector Family
DESCRIPTION
The Power Connectors are functional
building blocks in the Metral
®
modular
backplane interconnect system. All
connectors are designed in accordance
with the IEC 61076-4-104 standard. The
comprehensive connector range in the
Metral
®
family supports power solutions in
combination with other functions like signal
and coax. Each power module provides 8
or 10 individual contacts, and each contact
designed to carry 3 amps current. The
available termination options support press-
fit or solder-to-board application. Other
options provide capability for rear plug-up
or staggered pin lengths to support
sequential mating. Easy-to-use and
cost-effective application equipment is
available for press-fit connectors to keep
assembly times, as well as production
costs, to a minimum.
