Leveraging our Coeur socket technology, PowerWize Interconnects offer a 3.40mm size with various features and deliver power efficiency that is critical for cost management. Available in free-hanging and panel-mount housings, and right-angle or vertical pin-in-paste reflow SMT capable headers, these highpower connectors are designed for manufacturing flexibility and exceptional electrical performance.

 

Features

  • Provides optimal current-carrying capacity
    • Multiple contact beams help ensure low contact resistance, low voltage drop and minimal heat generation at the contact interface
  • Offers finger touch-safe headers and receptacles
    • These connectors are designed per UL 60950 to isolate the crimp contacts and prevent accidental contact with an energized circuit
  • Helps ensure secure mating and helps prevent cable assemblies from disengaging headers due to shock, vibration or mishandling
    • Positive-locking headers and receptacles provide tactile and audible feedback during system integration
  • Helps prevent mounting black headers in PCB locations designed for white/natural headers and the reverse
    • Polarized and color-coded connectors provide position differences between black and white/natural header polarizing pegs, making them ideal when multiple headers are used in the same application
  • Helps prevent mis-mating white/natural receptacles to black headers and the reverse
    • Mechanically keyed and color-coded connectors provide geometric differences between black and white/natural connectors, making them ideal when multiple cable assemblies are used in the same application
  • Offers design and manufacturing flexibility
    • Crimp contacts are available in two wire gauges, allowing applications to match current-carrying requirements with the optimal wire size while minimizing cable assembly costs; headers support pin-in-paste SMT reflow processing and wave solder processing
  • Enables increased design flexibility for simplified assembly and lower cost
    • Free-hanging plug housing allows easier cable routing, connection and disconnection during assembly, while panel-mount housing provides secure mating for enhanced stability and durability
  • Meets current and future legislative requirements, avoiding the need for costly redesigns when laws change
    • These connectors are low-halogen compliant, reducing toxic emissions and corrosion risk for improved safety and reliability
