EXTreme Guardian HD Power Connectors
Molex's connectors support AC or DC high-voltage applications with low voltage drop and irreversible dissipative power losses
Molex's EXTreme Guardian HD power connectors offer configurable hybrid power and signal solutions. They also provide high-current density in a low-profile package for design flexibility. PCB pegs enable accurate through-hole positioning and secure retention. These connectors feature a redundant contact design that handles up to 125 V. They support AC or DC high-voltage applications with extremely low voltage drop and irreversible dissipative power losses. A high temperature of +125°C power contact rating provides a greater margin for customers’ temperature designs, and a current density up to 80 A per blade provides one of the greatest current density solutions. Small centerline spacing of 5.15 mm reduces PCB footprint compared to legacy power products. Through-hole solder and press-fit tails offer flexible manufacturing options for these gold contact plated connectors.
