It also has blind-mate guides that allow for ±0.80mm of gatherability for blind-mate applications.
PwrBlade® ULTRA Connector System
PwrBlade® ULTRA's design offers an overall height reduction of 24% to reduce airflow impedance in high-density power supplies. Three contact choices are available; High Power, Low Power, and Signal. Ultra-high conductivity materials and new highly conductive plating, combine to produce an ultra-low resistance of just 0.4mΩ at end-of-life conditions.
PwrBlade® ULTRA HD+ BTB Connector System
HIGH POWER BOARD-TO-BOARD CONNECTOR SYSTEM
Amphenol's new, PwrBlade® ULTRA HD+ connector series features an enhanced high-power contact design capable of providing up to 100A per contact (per 4 adjacent contacts) and high-density signal options with up to 6 signal pins per column.
PwrBlade® ULTRA HD+ Cable Assembly
HIGH-POWER CABLE-TO-BOARD CONNECTOR SYSTEM
Amphenol's PwrBlade® ULTRA HD+ Cable-to-Board serves as a high-power I/O cable configuration in a low-profile design. The connector features an enhanced contact design capable of providing up to 84A per contact (per 4 adjacent contacts) and high-density signal options with up to 6 signal pins per column.
