That geometry matters when the header sits near the edge of a power distribution board or a server PSU card, where vertical clearance is tight. A mating guide is built into the header — an alignment feature that helps the receptacle find its target during blind-mate installation in a card cage or chassis. On a 6-position power connector, this reduces the risk of bent blades when the board is slid into a backplane slot. ## Current Rating and Contact Duty All 6 positions are loaded as power contacts — there are no signal pins in this layout. The 200V voltage rating gives headroom for 48V telecom rails or 120V industrial supplies without creeping up against the dielectric limit. ## Mating Connector and Cross-Reference The 6450523-2 mates with the corresponding MULTI-BEAM XL receptacle housing — a female connector that accepts the blade contacts and terminates to the cable or busbar assembly.","metaTitle":"TE 6450523-2 MULTI-BEAM XL Header, 6 Pos Power, Press-Fit","metaDescription":"TE 6450523-2 MULTI-BEAM XL header, 6 power positions, press-fit termination, right-angle mount, gold 30.0µin plating, UL94 V-0, -20°C to 105°C.
