Tyco Electronics has licensed its Minipak HDL power distribution connector family to FCI. The Minipak HDL connector provides very high power and signal density in a low-profile, co-planar package that sits less than 9mm above the PCB surface. This product offers a current density of 150A per linear inch along with 2mm pitch signal contacts, which therefore offers designers reductions in both overall length and height compared with alternative designs.
Mike Blanchfield, global family leader for power connectors at Tyco Electronics, comments: "The licensing of the Minipak HDL technology to FCI provides customers with the confidence that comes with having a leading-edge product with a pre-certified second source. Products from Tyco Electronics and FCI will be jointly qualified to confirm the performance is maintained between brands."
