A new low-profile single-connector microminiature RF interconnect aims to meet the growing demand for direct board-to-board connections.
The connector features hot-pluggable power contacts rated at 18A per contact that are sequenced for mate-first-break-last operation.
The Minipak HDE housing is a one-piece moulded housing designed to allow airflow through the connector to reduce heat build-up.

The Minipak HDE connector is available in seven different sizes and mates with existing Tyco Electronics' high current vertical receptacles.
