Powerplane Low-Profile Bus Bar Receptacle — 1-Position Power Interconnect
The TE Connectivity 173708-0001 is a single-position Powerplane Low-Profile Bus Bar receptacle designed for high-current board-level power distribution. The press-fit termination suits solderless backplane assembly, offering rework-friendly installation in high-reliability power systems.
Right-angle through-hole mounting orients the receptacle parallel to the PCB, suiting board-edge placement in space-constrained enclosures. The press-fit termination eliminates soldering — the compliant pin cold-welds into the plated through-hole, which is standard for backplane power distribution where rework access matters.
Sourcing and Cross-Reference Note
The 18-position peer 464369313 shares the same 60 A per circuit rating, 30.0 µin gold plating, press-fit termination, and right-angle through-hole mounting, but its multi-position layout (15 signal, 3 power) serves a different board footprint. The 173708-0001 is a single-position power-only receptacle — it will not drop into a panel wired for the 18-position part without rewiring the entire connector interface. No drop-in second source exists; the 173708-0001 is the sole member of its series at this position count.
