Amphenol's RADSOK PCB Connectors Ideal for Numerous Power Bus Applications

Connectors offer small footprint combined with low heat generation

2011-01-13

SIDNEY, NY, January 13, 2011 (Press-News.org) Amphenol Industrial, a global leader in interconnect systems, now offers three compact, high-amperage, ROHS-compliant RADSOK PCB connectors for a variety of power bus applications. These applications include, but are not limited to, high-power bus assembly utilities, power-to-board servers, power-to-box servers and battery power/chargers for electric vehicles. Amphenol's proprietary RADSOK technology uses a hyperbolic, stamped grid configuration that ensures a large, coaxial, face-to-face surface area engagement to maximize heat dissipation and reduce failures.

The RADSERT, PowerBlok and PGY connectors not only feature dependable operation, but also offer more surface space within a circuit board design while eliminating threaded connection failures. They are ideal for use in high-current, single-point connections.

The RADSERT connector offers the smallest footprint of Amphenol's new PCB line, opening up the most surface space for design flexibility. This new connector gives designers the option of bringing power to the board from busbars suspended above or below the board and its components. RADSERT is offered in both press-fit and solder versions, and is available in either a 2.4 mm (0.094") size and rated for up to 35 Amps or a 3.6 mm (0.141") size and rated for up to 70 Amps. It is designed for a board thickness of 6.35 mm +/-0.0635 mm (0.250" +/-0.025") with custom sizes available for specific applications.

Also able to provide 70 Amps to a PCB, the 12.7 mm x 12.7 mm (0.500" x0.500") PowerBlok features a radial design that has a touch-proof cover and many points of contact. The connector's backplane power interface employs the use of compliant pins that are press-fit into the PCB. This helps to facilitate a solid connection and an even signal flow. The PowerBlok's small footprint is advantageous to engineers who have limited size and weight requirements for their PCB.

Available in 3.6 mm (0.141") carrying up to 70 Amps and 5.7 mm (0.224") carrying up to 120 Amps, the PGY is an orthogonal card edge connector that delivers the highest amperage in the smallest housing. The PGY connects to the PCB through a solder reflow process. Design engineers can achieve important size and weight reductions within their guidelines without compromising the power needed for the board.

Pricing starts at $4 (RADSERT), $11 (PowerBlok) and $3 (PGY) in small quantities. Delivery is eight weeks ARO.

Dusty, Rusty Scuba Divers: Ways to Stay Active

2011-01-13

Life takes its toll. We are all busy. Scuba diving typically gets put on a shelf after a while and starts collecting dust. In today's tight economy, people are just not spending the money on extra things. We are creatures of habit and eventually scuba diving gets put to rest, at least until now. As time goes on, with anything, we get rusty. This could be as simple as swinging a bat or throwing a football. It's just not second nature like it used to be. Then our reflexes slow down and things can become a danger if we are not careful. Take driving a car for an example. ...
