FCI HPCE™(High Power Card Edge) Connector

Next Generation Power Card Edge Connector




FCI´s High Power Card Edge (HPCE™) Connector is the next generation power card edge connector that satisfies the demands of applications requiring high linear current density and low power loss. The HPCE connector offers a low profile height (2.8 mm for straddle mount; 7.50 mm for right angle) and is based on FCI's cost effective and highly reliable stamped-and-formed power contact technology. The FCI HPCE connector is available with a single molded housing that integrates power and signal contacts for power distribution and control. The HPCE connector is modularly tooled enabling it to be to be highly configurable for custom power designs in terms of the number and placement of power and signal contacts. Ideal for pluggable AC and DC power supplies or board-to-board connections for power distribution.



FEATURES
  • Current rating to 9A/power contact beam (with multiple power contacts fully energized) without exceeding a 30°C temperature rise in still air
  • Low profile height (2.8 mm for straddle mount; 7.50 mm for right angle) maximizes airflow for effective system cooling
  • One-piece assembly enables cost-effective power delivery for 1U and 2U power supplies or power distribution applications
  • Highly vented housing design maximizes heat dissipation
  • Vertical, right angle and straddle mount options are available with both power contacts for power distribution and signal contacts for power control
  • Number and placement of power and signal contacts are highly configurable for custom power needs
  • Polarized housing option ensures proper mating board orientation
  • Plastic housing features & mounting ear options available for polarization to the host PCB as well as to secure the connector during the wave solder process
  • Touch-proof safety features are UL/IEC 60950 compliant
  • Solder or press-fit tails available on the vertical option for termination flexibility
  • Compatible with lead-free processing temperatures
