December 3, 2008--Tyco Electronics has added a 150 amp CROWN CLIP JUNIOR connector to the power interconnect family, designed to mate directly to a power bus bar. Providing a space-efficient interconnection in solder or screw mount configurations, the connector is suitable for telecom power supply and power distribution applications, including core network energy systems, cellular base stations, PSU power distribution, servers, storage and network routers, and industrial applications.

The CROWN CLIP JUNIOR connector mates with a 3.0-mm thick plated bus bar, providing a separable interface designed to ease assembly, inspection, and troubleshooting. This right-angle connector can be soldered directly to a PCB or screwed to a bus bar for a 150 A current rating at less than 30º C temperature rise.

Featuring the CROWN BAND contact design, the selectively plated, high conductivity copper contacts are designed to offer low resistance and low milli-volt drop, reducing temperature rise for more efficient power distribution. In blindmate applications, this connector is built to handle adverse tolerances through a proprietary anti-stress feature, allowing reliable mating even to misaligned bus bars.

Samples are available from Tyco Electronics' Power Interconnect Team by contacting Jo Redwood.
