Avoid the mixed-signal mismatch — this is a pure power blade receptacle
The TE Connectivity 1982257-5 is a 5-position power receptacle from the Z-PACK Slim UHD series, built with female blade sockets arranged in a single row. The contact layout is listed as 5 Power — no signal pins, no mixed-density confusion. This is a dedicated power interconnect for backplane applications where the board edge needs a clean, high-current feed without sharing real estate with signal pairs. Press-fit termination means the receptacle presses into plated through-holes without solder — a standard choice for backplane assemblies where rework access is limited and thermal stress from wave soldering is unwanted.
What it mates with and how the press-fit works
This receptacle mates with the matching Z-PACK Slim UHD power header (the male blade side). The press-fit compliant pin compresses as it enters the plated through-hole, creating a gas-tight joint without solder. No special tooling beyond a standard backplane press is required, but the PCB hole diameter must match the pin geometry — verify the recommended hole size from the product drawing before committing the board layout.
