Besides 22 signal pins, there are eight power contacts available for transmission of up to 16A.
A further four signal contacts can be included, and can be loaded for additional applications on customer request.
High-quality high-value turned contacts are used with up to 0.76um gold film thickness.
The robust plug housing design allows blind plugging.
Yamaichi offers headers (male) as angled versions for use on ATCA boards and the socket (female) as a straight version for use on the backplane.
The power connectors are designed for press-fit technology and can be processed with standard tools.
