Connectors suit Orthogonal system packaging architectures

Expanding its power connector portfolio, FCI has announced the PwrMAX Ortho power connectors to support a new data centre equipment trend known as Orthogonal system packaging architectures. This architecture can offer improved data transfer and improved system cooling by eliminating mid-plane circuit boards.

PwrMAX Ortho power connectors can be used with either busbars or circuit boards to distribute power in systems with orthogonal architectures.

The connectors also feature FCI’s revolutionary GCS plating and supports current loads of up to 100A per contact. The connector is extremely energy efficient, with a maximum contact resistance of just 0.3mΩ and is rated to operate at up to 125°C.

With the unique and robust contact design, the blind-mate-able PwrMAXOrtho power connectors provide a highly reliable low resistance interconnect path for orthogonal architectures.

Samples of PwrMAXOrtho power connectors are now available.
