Amphenol CS new 60A AC whip assembly connector
Amphenol CS announces new 60A AC whip assembly connector
Amphenol’s 60A AC Input Connectors and Cable Assemblies are designed to meet 2OU power distribution architecture standards while providing a high power and seamless method of routing power directly from the busway to the power shelf. The overmolded shell design and positive locking mechanism ensure reliability while maintaining high-current capabilities within space-constrained applications. The slim 7-pin design provides an optimal connection for PCB and wired connections within the power shelf and offers easy configurability to meet various voltage and current ratings. Amphenol’s 60A AC Whip meets IEC cable industry standards and offers a best-inclass solution for data center applications, including modular racks, power shelves (PSUs), battery backup units (BBUs), and hyperscale computing architecture.
