Amphenol Industrial now offers three radial socket (RADSOK) connectors for use in high-current, single-point connections to printed circuit boards (PCBs).
The new PowerBlok, Radsert and PGY connectors incorporate RADSOK technology to eliminate threaded connection failures and increase reliability, flexibility and available surface space within a board design, Amphenol said.
Housed in a 12.7 millimeter by 12.7 millimeter package, PowerBlok provides up to 70 amps (A) to a board.
The component's backplane power interface uses compliant pins, which are press-fit into the board. PowerBlok features a radial design that allows many points of contact as well as a touch-proof cover for safer operation, according to Amphenol.
Available in either a 2.4 millimeter size carrying up to 35 A or in a 3.6 millimeter size carrying up to 70 A, Radsert enables designers to bring power to the board from busbars suspended above the board and its components.
A standard Radsert is designed for a board thickness of 6.35 millimeters plus or minus 0.0635 millimeter with custom sizes available for specific applications. The PGY, an orthogonal card edge connector, is available in two sizes: 3.6 millimeters with up to 70 A and 5.7 millimeters with up to 120 A.
The RADSOK PCB connector series is restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances (RoHS) compliant and can be applied manually (press-fit) or by a reflow solder process that eliminates the need for additional wires and special crimping tools, according to Amphenol.
