Product details

It accepts female blade sockets arranged in a single row, with all 8 positions loaded. The press-fit termination eliminates soldering, making it suited for high-reliability backplane assemblies where rework and field replacement matter. Rated at 250V with a UL94 V-0 housing and an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, this connector handles the thermal and electrical demands of industrial power backplanes.

Press-Fit Termination and Backplane Fit

Press-fit termination means the compliant pin is pressed into a plated through-hole on the PCB — no solder joint, no heat stress on the board. The through-hole mounting provides mechanical retention during mating and unmating cycles.

Compliance and Environmental Rating

The connector is ROHS3 compliant, covering the full EU RoHS exemption list.

Frequently asked questions

What is the TE 120953-5 connector used for?

The TE 120953-5 is an 8-position blade power receptacle from the UPM series, designed for backplane power distribution. It accepts female blade sockets and uses press-fit termination for solderless assembly in high-reliability power backplanes.

Is the 120953-5 RoHS compliant?

Yes, the 120953-5 is ROHS3 compliant, covering the full EU RoHS exemption list.

What connector mates with the TE 120953-5?

The 120953-5 is a receptacle that accepts female blade sockets. The mating half is a blade power header from the same UPM series, with matching 8-position, single-row layout and press-fit or solder termination. Confirm the specific mating part number against the backplane design.

Where can I buy the TE 120953-5 connector?
