TE Connectivity (TE) launched its ELCON Micro power connectors in an industry-standard footprint of 3.0 mm, enabling easy upgrades to existing designs. The 3.0-mm PCB footprint is compatible with Molex’s Micro-Fit headers and BellWether’s Micro-Hi headers.
Offering high current density, the new power connectors provide 12.5 A per pin, making them well suited for applications such as servers, switches, storage devices, and testing machines. The connectors support two- to 24-pin configurations. The connectors provide a working voltage of 600 V and support different currents with multiple combinations of different wire sizes to offer greater design flexibility.
They perform reliably in harsh environments thanks to their maximum operating temperature of 105°C and halogen-free material, said TE. Another key feature is the connector housing design, which prevents mis-mating to make assembly much easier.
