The PwrBlade series power distribution Connector System from AFCI includes power and signal contacts to provide power distribution and power control in a single connector. Options for either vertical or right-angle versions of PCB-mount headers and receptacles deliver support for coplanar, backplane or mezzanine connections. The connector is ideal for robust power connections to embedded AC/DC power supplies or for board-to-board connections in servers, storage enclosures and communications equipment. Initially developed to enable the implementation of server system infrastructure (SSI), standards for distributed power supplies (DPS), mid-range power supplies (MPS), high-end power supplies (HPS) and PwrBlade® connectors are also available in wide variety of other configurations with either solder or pressfit board termination. The PwrBlade® connector can be provided with one to 20 power contacts and zero to 148 signal contacts.
