Products
FLATPAQ Modular Board-to-Board Power Connectors —
Our Most Modular Board-to-Board Power Connector
Product Facts
■ 32 Amp high-performance
ELCON CROWN BAND power
contacts
■ True hot-plug power contacts
available for current
interruption under load
■ Versatile modular design
allows customized
configuration to meet your
specific application
requirements
■ Perpendicular, parallel and
co-planar styles available
■ Sequenced mating of power
and signal contacts
■ Solder and compliant press-
fit termination to the board
■ Unique active guide modules
double as alignment guide
and power contact
■ All FLATPAQ products in this
section are RoHS compliant
Typical Applications
■ Board-to-board power
interconnections
■ Hot-swap N+1 power
distribution for
telecommunications,
servers and mini-computers
■ Uninterruptible power
systems (UPS)
■ Removable battery packs
FLATPAQ connectors
provide hot-pluggable
AC and DC power in board-
to-board applications.
Customized configurations
of up to 45A power contacts,
signal & logic lines, and
guides (both active and
passive) are enabled by
the assembly of various
standard modules. This
allows the designer to
specify guidance for blind-
mating situations, contact
mating sequence, spacing
for voltage ratings, and
current interruption under
load (true hot-plug), to meet
custom design requirements
without incurring any tooling
expense.
Product Highlights
Highly Configurable
FLATPAQ connectors are
custom configurable using
standard modules that can
be arranged in any order
to meet the application
requirements. It is even
possible to have both power
blades and power sockets
in the same connector side.
Using off-the-shelf, modular
components enables quick
turnaround of sample
requests, typically within
one week, to allow your
design to move forward on
schedule.
High-performance ELCON
Power Contacts
FLATPAQ socket modules
use proven CROWN BAND
technology, for low insertion
and extraction forces,
minimal voltage drop and
reduced temperature rise.
The latest generation
contacts are 45A USR rated
(32.5A CNR) and can
handle even higher currents
when mounted on boards
with 5 oz copper traces or
on bus bars.
hot-pluggable socket
contacts are rated at
35A USR, 20A CNR.
Both hot-plug and regular
sockets can be mixed in
the same connector (as can
both power blades and
power sockets).
Standard power modules
utilize the same contacts
as the MINIPAK connectors
for cost effectiveness.
The original “float” mounted
blade modules are still
available where physically
isolating the blade from the
PCB solder joints is
desired.
24-position straight mount
Signal socket modules are
now available in a cost
effective 1A design.
Power and Signal Sequencing
Power contacts are
available in Standard,
Premate and Postmate
lengths to meet your power
sequencing requirements.
Signal contacts have
Standard and Premate
length options, consult
Customer Service for
details.
