EXTreme Guardian HD Power Connectors

Molex's connectors support AC or DC high-voltage applications with low voltage drop and irreversible dissipative power losses

Image of Molex's EXTreme Guardian HD Power Connectors 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.
