Molex EXTreme PowerEdge Connectors

Molex EXTreme PowerEdge Connectors feature signal contacts for combined high-power and signal card edge or bus bar tab applications. Molex EXTreme PowerEdge one-piece vertical card edge style connector can be used with gold finger PC boards. This connector series can also be used as a bus bar interconnect for power supply or power distribution applications. PowerEdge is rated at 40.0A per contact with the ability to integrate signal pins within the same housing for power/signal hybrid designs. Each signal contact is rated at 3.0A. Attributing to its slender profile, EXTreme PowerEdge allows excellent airflow around the connector.

Features

  • Low-profile design allows high current transfer in narrow spaces
  • Mates to a 1.57mm (0.62”) PCB card edge or bus bar
  • Rated for current interruption hot-plugging requirements
  • Rugged power and signal contacts reduce the potential for stubbing or damage
  • 2x isolated power contacts or 8x signal contacts per housing segment
  • Available in 2, 3, and 4 segment versions
  • Press-fit or solder tail PCB mounting
  • End-to-end stackable to accommodate additional circuit counts on the card edge
