The right-angle orientation and board-edge mounting put the power path perpendicular to the PCB, which is the typical layout for a plug-in card feeding a backplane bus bar. ## Press-Fit Termination — No Solder, No Rework The press-fit termination is the defining feature here. Instead of solder, the compliant pin compresses into the plated through-hole, creating a gas-tight joint. That means no solder voids, no wicking, and no rework — the connector is pressed into the board in one operation. For a backplane assembly with dozens of connectors, press-fit eliminates the thermal stress of wave soldering and makes field replacement of a damaged connector feasible: desolder a 5-position power header from a multi-layer backplane and you risk lifting the barrel. Press-fit pins pull out cleanly with the right tool. Board layout needs clearance behind the connector for the press tool anvil — typically 3-5 mm of keep-out on the opposite side. The blade power contact style is a standard TE UPM format — the female socket blades accept the male tabs from the header. The single-row, 5-position layout is keyed by the housing geometry; there is no secondary keying option in this series. Confirm the header part number from the same UPM family to ensure the blade width and pitch align.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 120943-3 UPM Receptacle, 5 Pos Blade Power","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 120943-3 UPM blade power receptacle, 5 positions, press-fit termination, right-angle board-edge mount, gold 50.0µin contacts, UL94 V-0, -40°C","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"UPM (Universal Power Modules)","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Circular Connectors","Specialty Circular"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Gray","Pitch":"-","Series":"UPM (Universal Power Modules)","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Termination":"Press-Fit","Mounting Type":"Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle","Connector Type":"Receptacle, Female Blade Sockets","Contact Finish":"Gold","Number of Rows":"1","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"-","Connector Style":"Blade Power","Connector Usage":"Backplane","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Number of Columns":"-","Base Product Number":"120943","Number of Positions":"5","Current Rating (Amps)":"-","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 105°C","Contact Layout, Typical":"5 Power","Contact Finish Thickness":"50.0µin (1.27µm)","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$7.7200","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$7.72000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$6.72900","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$6.55160","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$6.37460","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$5.98510","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$5.94964","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$5.59552","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$4.99346","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the mounting style of 120943-3?","answer":"It uses press-fit termination with a right-angle board-edge, through-hole mount.
