Board-Edge Blade Power Header for Backplane Distribution
It carries three power contacts in a single row, terminated via press-fit pins that press into plated through-holes without solder — a standard method for high-reliability backplane assemblies where rework and field replacement matter.
Press-Fit Termination and Board Layout Fit
Press-fit termination means no solder wicking, no flux residue, and no thermal stress on the board — the compliant pin compresses into the plated hole and holds by interference fit. With only 3 power positions in a single row, the board footprint is compact — the blade power contact layout confirms all three positions are dedicated to power, no signal pins mixed in.
