The MINIPAK HDL power board-to-board connector family includes a new vertical receptacle for right-angle configurations that provides 25% more current density than competitive products. The connector consists of a right-angle plug and a right angle or vertical receptacle with an eye-of-the-needle tail for both solder and press-fit applications. Fully qualified to end-of-life conditions, the connector features a current rating of up to 40 A per contact, with nine adjacent contacts in a 1-in. PCB space, all carrying 17.5 A while remaining within the 30° temperature rise requirement. Its height is also approximately 35% less than the previous de facto standard Multi-Beam XL product, enabling improved cooling efficiencies for compact 1U power supply designs.
Configurations are available with up to 24 power contacts and 40 signal contacts without up-front tooling charges. Three levels of mating sequences suit hot-swap applications. Applications include 1U servers, high-end servers and telecommunications switches. (Contact company for pricing and availability.)
