UPM Blade Power Receptacle for Board-Edge Power Distribution
It accepts female blade sockets and is terminated via press-fit, meaning no soldering is required — the compliant pin compresses into a plated through-hole, making it well-suited for backplane and high-reliability assemblies where rework and field replacement are factors. The contact layout is 3 power positions, all loaded, with a gold finish of 50.0µin (1.27µm) on the mating surface. The connector is gray in color and ships in bulk packaging.
Mounting and Termination — Press-Fit, Right-Angle, Board-Edge
The 120943-1 mounts to the board edge through a through-hole pattern and terminates via press-fit. The press-fit pin eliminates a wave-solder step, which is a common preference in backplane builds where thermal stress on the board and connector body is a concern.
