Micro power connectors offer easy assembly with near fool-proof mating features

TE Connectivity's ELCON Micro Wire-to-Board Power Connectors offer high current at 12.5A per pin in a contact pitch of 3mm and support various currents with many combinations of different-size wire and different configurations. The connectors are available now from Mouser. The connectors offer a common industry footprint allowing for easy upgrades to existing designs. The headers are PCB footprint compatible with other suppliers, too. The device offers easy assembly with virtually fool-proof mating features. The connectors operate reliably in harsh environments with a maximum operating temperature of 105C. The low contact resistance of 5mOhm max provides lower temperature rise and lower power loss on the connector The connectors are designed for use in data communication with applications in servers, switches, storage devices, battery testing machines, and retail business equipment. The common industry footprint allows for easy upgrades to existing designs.
