EXTreme Guardian™ Power Connector System

EXTreme Guardian header and cable assemblies, previously named EXTreme Power Interconnect (EPIC), features small package sizes with a centerline pitch of 11.00mm. The system supports up to 80.0A per contact, provides good shielding characteristics in EMI-sensitive environments, features hot-plugging capabilities and UL safety features.

Headers are available in 2-circuit, single-flanged and 3-circuit, dual-flanged versions. Cable assemblies are available in 3-circuit, straight, shielded and unshielded versions for high-voltage applications and are UL touch-safe. Additionally, the 2-circuit cabled solutions include a straight, unshielded cable assembly; a right-angled, right-entry and left-entry unshielded version, as well as a left-entry shielded variant for space-saving connections to servers installed in confined spaces.

Key Features:

• High-current density per inch supports up to 80.0A per blade (180.0A per inch)
• Redundant contact design handles up to 600V and supports AC or DC high-voltage applications with the lowest feasible voltage drop and I2R losses
• Small centerline spacing of 11.00mm reduces PCB footprint compared to legacy power products
• Recessed terminals, First-Mate-Last-Break allow hot-swapping of power unites and reduce network downtime
• Gold or tin contact plating provides flexibility to suit customer applications; gold plating provides low interface resistance
• UL and CSA certification meet all accredited agency safety requirement and approvals

Applications:

• Data Communication equipment
• Telecommunication equipment manufacturers
• Power supplies
• Solar
• Medical
• Electric vehicles
• Commercial applications that require small form factor interconnects delivering u pto 200.0A
