ELCON Mini-Drawer Receptacle, 22 Positions — Hybrid Signal/Power Interconnect
The TE Connectivity ELCON 2212041-1 is a 22-position Mini-Drawer receptacle with a hybrid contact layout: 16 signal positions and 6 power positions in a single 3-row housing. This is the defining feature of the ELCON Mini-Drawer series — one connector body handles both the control wiring and the main DC rail, reducing the number of separate connectors on the backplane or panel. The 35A per circuit rating on the power contacts means each of those six positions carries bus-level current, sized for the main power distribution bus in a server PSU, industrial power supply, or battery interconnect — not a signal line. The Guide Pin feature aids blind-mating in drawer-style installations where the connector is not directly visible during engagement.
The 2212041-1 is listed as Obsolete. Buyers planning a new design should evaluate the current ELCON Mini-Drawer product line for an active alternative that matches the 22-position, 16-signal/6-power hybrid layout.
The 22 positions loaded all means every contact position is populated — no selective loading. The 35A per circuit rating applies to the power contacts; the signal contacts carry lower current by design, but the spec table does not break out a separate signal current. The Mini-Drawer style mates with a matching plug header in the same ELCON series — the Guide Pin feature aligns the halves during blind mating in a drawer slide application.
