Z-Power™ Connector
10.30mm (.405”)
FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
Parallel Board Spacing
Z-Power is a high-current, rigid, board-to-board and wire-to-board mezzanine style interconnect
designed to transfer power loads from one PCB to another
Mezzanine, Board-to-Board
and Wire-to-Board
Applications
Z-Power connectors utilize a unique, dual interface
which results in long-term reliability. The Z-Power
connector allows 50.0A to be carried between parallel
boards in 0.232 in2, with less than .020 milliohms
initial plane-to-plane resistance.
The rigid nature of this interconnect allows high-density
PCB applications to benefit from real-estate savings, by
employing Z-Power in a dual role. Z-Power performs as
both a high-reliability power connector and a durable
stand-off, relieving the need for separate mechanical
stand-offs in some applications.

The Z-Power connector is press-fit into the PC base
board. The PC top board is then screwed down on top
of the Z-Power connector, forming a high-pressure
interface. A unique, dual Hertzian contact design
allows the screw to be installed without affecting the
compliant-pin interface in the opposing PCB.
Z-Power can also be used as an efficient, wire-to-board
connector. This application is achieved through using
standard wire-crimp, ring-lug terminals as the mating
interface to the Z-Power screw-down terminal interface.
