Guardian HD Power Receptacle — 17 Circuits, 80 A per Blade
The TE Connectivity 214114-0002 is a 17-position vertical receptacle from the Guardian HD series, designed for high-current board-to-wire power distribution. It carries female blade sockets on a 0.079" (2.00 mm) pitch arranged in 5 rows, with each circuit rated 80 A at 125 V — bus-level current in a compact footprint. The push-pull fastening and integral mating guide simplify blind-mate assembly in multi-connector panels.
What the 80 A Rating Means for Your Build
80 A per circuit is not a signal-level number — each blade carries enough current for a main DC rail, a battery feed, or a power bus inside an industrial cabinet. For a 17-position connector, the total aggregate current across all circuits is limited by the housing's temperature rise; the 80 A per-contact figure assumes derating per the manufacturer's curve at elevated ambient.
Through-hole solder termination — the vertical orientation places the receptacle standing upright on the board, with the solder tails passing through plated holes.
