A Molex product story

Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team May 25, 2009

Molex's new Extreme Ten60Power connector can reach a current rating of 60.0A per blade at a 30-degree T-rise.

A low 10.00mm (.394in) profile, coupled with high-capacity power blades, allows this interconnect to target smaller power-supply architectures that deliver high current in limited spaces where airflow can otherwise be restricted by larger connectors.

Extreme Ten60Power is a modular high-current power and signal connector system that can accommodate coplanar and right-angle board-to-board orientations.

Its high-current contact blades in DC (5.50mm) and AC (7.50mm) spacing options provide design flexibility.

Power blades are rated up to 60.0A per blade, providing up to 260.0A per linear inch of board.

Both the plug and receptacle use reliable, proven Molex power and signal-contact designs.

The high-current connector is available in one through 10 power-blade modules and six through 36 signal modules along with either end-mount or top-mount guidance.

Wire-to-board options are also available.
