Board-Edge Power Interconnect for Backplane Assemblies
It is designed for board-edge mounting at a right angle, with press-fit termination that eliminates soldering — a common requirement in backplane power distribution where rework and high-reliability connections matter.
Press-Fit Termination and Right-Angle Mounting
The through-hole mounting provides additional mechanical retention beyond the press-fit pins alone.
2-Power Contact Layout — What It Carries
This plug carries 2 power contacts only — no signal pins. The contact layout is described as '2 Power', meaning both positions are sized for current-carrying duty. In the MULTI-BEAM XLE series, the power blades are designed for bus-level current in server PSUs, base station power distribution, and industrial backplanes. The 2-position count means it mates with a 2-circuit receptacle — confirm the mating half position count matches before specifying.
