Tyco Electronics has a new high-current Card Edge connector based on its SEC-II product line. The power connectors are said to increase the current carrying capacity by over 70% compared to traditional card edge connectors. The increased ampacity comes from a triple beam power contact, which increases the cross sectional area of the contact yet maintains the same mating force and contact wipe as the SEC-II signal contacts.
Carries up to 25 Amps per contact and is available in a variety of combinations of power and signal contacts combined in a single molded housing.
Available with three mounting options:
*PCB tails for soldering to plated through-holes
*Compliant press-fit PCB tails
*Straddle/surface-mount PCB tails for co-planar applications
Are suited for traditional Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) applications.
