Backplane Power Header for Press-Fit Assembly
It carries a single row of male blades rated for 250 V, with a contact layout of 4 power positions — meaning every circuit on this header is a power blade, not a mix of signal and power. The press-fit termination eliminates soldering, which keeps the assembly clean for high-reliability backplane builds where rework access is limited.

Press-Fit Termination: What It Means for Assembly
Press-fit termination means the compliant pin is pressed into a plated through-hole on the backplane — no solder joint, no reflow profile, no flux residue. The board guide feature helps align the pin array to the hole pattern during the press operation.
Contact Plating and Mating Cycles
The contacts are finished with gold or gold-palladium on the mating surface. Gold-palladium is a harder, more wear-resistant finish than standard gold — it extends the mating-cycle life for backplane applications where the header sees multiple insertion and extraction events over the equipment service life.
