November 4, 2009 -- The Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCA, or ATCA) Zone-1 power connectors from Suyin meet or exceed the generic PICMG 3.0 specifications. The 30-position standard version is equipped with 8 power contacts, carrying a maximum of 16 A each, and with 22 signal pins. Four additional unloaded signal pins, rated at a maximum of 1A each, are reserved for customer-specific configurations. Suyin also supplies partially loaded Zone-1 connector versions with 20 or 22 pins.
The connectors feature high-quality, gold-plated copper-alloy contacts with a very low contact resistance of 2.2 milliohms (power) and 8.5 milliohms (signal). The robust housing design and special alignment features allow blind mating. Due to their hot-swap capabilities, boards equipped with these connectors can be exchanged during live operation.
The right-angle male connector is designed for use with the system modules (ATCA boards/blades). The vertical female connector is employed as a daughterboard connector for use on the backplane. These power connectors use press-fit termination and can be processed with standard tools. The press-fit assembly process changes the shape of the contacts, thus forming a durable gas-tight connection between the contacts and the PCB.
Key specifications at a glance include the following:
Connector type: ATCA power connectors, press-fit
Number of pins: 20-, 22-, 30- and 34-position versions
Dimensions: Male connector: 46.1 x 41.3 x 20.9; Female connector: 22.2 x 46.0 x 22.20 (L x W x H in mm overall)
Part numbers: R-806M011*00*** (male connector): R-806F011*00*** (female connector)
