Board-Edge Power Plug for Backplane Distribution
The TE Connectivity MULTI-BEAM HD 2204443-1 is a 2-position power-only plug designed for board-edge mounting in high-current backplane or busbar applications. It carries two power blades in a single row, with press-fit termination that eliminates soldering — a key advantage for assemblies that need rework-friendly, high-reliability interconnects in power distribution units, server PSUs, or industrial control cabinets.
Press-Fit and Right-Angle Mounting
This is standard for backplane architectures where the connector must survive multiple insertion cycles during board assembly and field replacement. The right-angle board edge mount (through-hole, right angle) orients the plug perpendicular to the board, which is the typical layout for a power inlet at the PCB edge.
Environmental Range and Contact Plating
Gold-palladium is typically specified for higher cycle counts or harsher atmospheres than standard gold flash. The single-row, 2-power layout means this is not a mixed-signal connector; it is sized purely for DC bus or high-current rail duty.
