Amphenol FCI SheerPwr® Circular Conectors

Amphenol FCI SheerPwr® PCB-to-Busbar and PCB-to-PCB Circular Connectors are designed for connecting busbars to circuit boards. The connectors feature a high-current, low-resistance interface and use a robust and compliant power contact assembled in a circular orientation. The result is a power socket designed to mate with traditional machined pins, providing repeated low resistance, high misalignment, and high current carrying capabilities. Redundant contact points allow for improved reliability. The connectors have a low profile socket regardless of current carrying capacity. The SheerPwr® Circular Connectors provide a minimum of 4.0mm of gatherability that increases with pin diameter.

Features

  • Large beam deflection range handles up to ±0.64mm permanent misalignment. When fully misaligned, all of the beams still make contact with the pin.
  • Low halogen materials, meets JEDEC JS709 Electronics Industry Standards
  • Redundant contact points, low and stable resistance
  • Large gatherability for blind-mate applications
  • AGT® silver-plated contacts allow lower resistance
  • Low 6.8mm connector height fits in many applications and allows for greater airflow
  • RoHS Compliant according to the European Union Directive 2011/65/EU
