Samtec Samtec mPOWER connectors

Details

mPOWER® connector system is the ultimate micro, high-power solution with incredible design flexibility in one product family for board-to-board, cable-to-board and cable-to-cable applications. Due to the wide variety of stack heights available, mPOWER® can be easily added to new or existing architectures. Discrete wire cable assemblies simplify board layout and deliver power directly to active components in the system.

The mPOWER™ ultra-micro power connector system from Samtec with stack heights from 5 mm to 12 mm, mPOWER can be easily added to new or existing architectures. Further design flexibility is available with a choice of 2, 3, 4,or 5 power blades, each of which has two-stage mating and can be selectively loaded to achieve any specific creepage and clearance requirements. Offeringcurrent ratingsup to 21 Aper blade in a 2 mm pitch, mPOWER connectors provide an ultra-small, high-power solution with exceptional design flexibility for power-only or power-and-signal applications.Samtec’s mPOWERconnector system features gold-plated power blades and frees board space compared to other 21 A solutions. Engineers can use mPOWER as a standalone high-power solutionor with one of Samtec's high-speed connector systems, such as SEARAY™ or Tiger Eye™, for a unique two-piece power and signal/ground solution.

mPOWER® connector system is the ultimate micro, high-power solution with incredible design flexibility for power-only or power/signal applications. Due to the wide variety of stack heights available, mPOWER® can be easily added to new or existing architectures alongside one of Samtec’s high-speed connector systems for a unique two-piece power and signal/ground solution.

mPOWER® is a Severe Environment Test (SET) qualified product. SET is a Samtec initiative to test products beyond typical industry standards and specifications. These products undergo additional testing to ensure they are more than suitable for rugged/ harsh environments such as military, space, automotive, industrial and other extreme applications.
