the same PCB footprint and is end-to-end stackable
with competing products.
Features and Benefits
I Connector assemblies available in two, three and
four segments (two contacts per segment) provide
greater flexibility for power distribution applications
I End-to-end stackable segments provide greater
flexibility for card edge requirements up to
203.20mm (8.00”) in length
I 40.0A current rating per contact for high current
requirements, 25% more current per contact than
competing headers
I Isolated segments on opposing contacts provide
option for different power voltage levels on either
side of the board; for example, ground return on
one side and power return on the other side
I Press-fit or solder tail terminations are compatible
with standard PCB’s or Backplanes
I Rated for current interruption matches true hot-
plugging capabilities
I Compatible with competitive connector allows drop-
in replacement
