The press-fit termination eliminates the thermal cycle risk of a solder joint in a high-current backplane, and the board guide aligns the header during insertion so the press-fit tails don't shear against the plated-through holes. Contact finish is listed as gold or gold-palladium. For a backplane power interconnect that sees limited mating cycles after initial assembly, either finish provides stable contact resistance over the life of the system. The gold option is the more common choice for the mating interface; the palladium variant adds wear resistance if the connector is part of a field-replaceable module that gets swapped during service. The press-fit tails are designed for a specific backplane thickness and plated-through-hole diameter — the board fabricator needs the hole size called out in the TE product drawing.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 5646957-1 UPM Header, Blade Power","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 5646957-1 UPM header, male blades, 7 power positions, press-fit termination, right-angle board-edge mount, UL94 V-0, -55°C to 125°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":"Tube","Features":"Board Guide","Termination":"Press-Fit","Mounting Type":"Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle","Connector Type":"Header, Male Blades","Contact Finish":"Gold or Gold-Palladium","Number of Rows":"1","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"250V","Connector Style":"Blade Power","Connector Usage":"Backplane","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Number of Columns":"-","Base Product Number":"5646957","Number of Positions":"7","Current Rating (Amps)":"-","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 125°C","Contact Layout, Typical":"7 Power","Contact Finish Thickness":"-","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$14.1200","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$14.12000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$12.76700","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$12.42880","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$11.95600","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$11.07790","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$11.01036","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$10.60506","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$9.45675","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy the TE Connectivity 5646957-1 and how do I get a price?","answer":"The 5646957-1 is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution.
