Photocoupler

As a leading manufacturer of connectors and interconnect systems, FCI has announced a series of advanced power distribution connectors for mobile communications applications. The PwrBlade +TM series of connectors offer high linear density, low power loss and ruggedness, making them ideal for truck and trailer communication equipment.

The PwrBlade +TM series of connectors feature high power contacts that are optimized for shrapnel design to significantly increase linear current density in a compact package. In a still air environment, if the temperature rise does not exceed 30 ° C, the rated current of the contact can reach 75A. The PwrBlade +TM series of connectors operate over a wide temperature range of -40oC to + 125oC , and their vents are designed to maximize heat dissipation, enabling optimum cooling even under the most extreme conditions to ensure superior performance.

The PwrBlade+TM series of connectors address two different requirements for power applications, improving power management through front-end expandable space design. The power distribution connector features up to 20 power contacts, along with 0 to 148 signal contacts, providing three levels of power and signal contact sequences.

PwrBlade+TM series connectors are available with soldered or crimped upper plate for coplanar, right angle and mezzanine connections. These connection options make the PwrBlade+TM connector suitable for virtually any scenario in a communication device. These communication devices require various combinations. The power and signal configuration connections. This connector is ideal for integration within 1U/2U servers, storage devices, telecommunications, and datacom/network devices. The guide post integrated in the connector has a blind matching function in the field.
