Key Features:

• Float-Mount Design
  Allows up to +/- 1.00mm of misalignment, facilitating blind mating in deep racks.
• One part number mates with 3.00- and 3.18mm-thick busbar tabs
  This facilitates mating with de facto output blades for typical power supply applications and gives designers options for enhanced performance while meeting various system requirements.
• Multiple, independent points of contact
  This allows for 40% more points of contact than competitors do for high reliability and enhanced performance.
• Several different current ratings and attachment methods utilizing the same separable interface
  Engineers can overcome design limitations and have confidence in achieving a reliable interface with a variety of attach options across different current ratings. This provides a scalable solution for customers to meet different application requirements.
  
  

Additional Product Features:

• Mounts to a busbar via two holes using customer-supplied machine screws as well as solder tab options
• High-conductivity copper alloy
• Dimensionally compatible with competitive connectors
• Low voltage drop
• Silver plating for lower resistance
