Wire-to-board connectors deliver 23.0 A in 5.70-mm pitch

Mega-Fit Power Connectors can deliver 23.0 A in a small, 5.70-mm footprint. With their high-current terminals, the compact wire-to-board design is said to provide one of the most power-dense connectors in the industry for any applications requiring from 14.0 to 23.0 A per terminal.

The split-box terminal design staggers six contact points, each of which moves independently on a separate flexible beam to deliver a redundant, secondary current path for long-term reliability. The staggered contacts allow the front four “sacrificial” contacts to protect the two rear points of contact when unmating, so the system can be “hot plugged” at 48 V/23.0 A for up to 30 cycles. The terminals also feature an extended-barrel conductor crimp, providing an extremely strong terminal-to-wire retention for long-term durability and reliability.
