Integrated power connector supplants discrete solutions
Modular stacking solution eliminates up to five separate power and signal cable connectors
With seven machined contacts each capable of handling 15 A, a stacking connector comprising a single integrated power connection with a series of stackable modules can eliminate up to five separate proprietary power and signal cable connectors. The environmentally sealed interconnect provides designers with a compact and cost-effective solution for electrically powered equipment such as powered wheelchairs, scooters, and hospital and home-care beds.
Gold-plated contacts can be either terminated to cable cores connected within the module, or as feed-through contacts to allow power or signal to be routed to another module/cable in the stack. Contact geometries can also be staggered.
Top and bottom cover modules complete the connector assembly, providing overall sealing. Each module is fully corrosion proof, rated for 1,000 mating cycles, and features soldered terminations, built-in cable strain relief, and an insert-moulded cable that meets IP67 standards.
Mechanical locking and environmental sealing is accomplished through a sealing gasket between each module, combined with a sliding lock clip mechanism which provides both a visual confirmation and a positive audible snap when the connector is mated.
