TE’s new HD card edge connector delivers higher current than previous power card edge connectors at 25A/contact with low resistance, and supports 1,500-2,000W power supplies for data centre equipment.
With a maximum operating temperature of 130°C, the connector provides reliable performance in harsh environments.
In addition, the signal pitch is 1.27mm (compatible with common industry PCB footprint designs), and the elasticity of the power/signal pins provides low mating force.
Bandy Yuan, Product Manager at TE, said: “Current density and power requirements in servers, switches and storage devices are increasing, and the industry demands solutions that can meet those needs in demanding environments.
“TE’s HD card edge connector is a solution that addresses the requirements of networking device manufacturers for next-gen equipment.”
