Molex adds EXTreme Ten60Power split blade to its portfolio

LISLE, USA: Molex Inc. expanded its EXTreme Ten60Power High Current Connector line of products with the introduction of the EXTreme Ten60 Split Blade contact system, allowing the company to meet an even wider range of power and signal requirements for data communications, telecommunications, and power supply customers requiring high current density and low power loss.

The split blade power modules are part of a robust portfolio of modular, custom configurable, high current hybrid power and signal connectors that achieve up to 260.0A per linear inch in a low profile (10.00mm) housing design that enhances system airflow.

Extreme Ten60Power connectors are available in one through nine circuit split blade power modules, one through 10 circuit standard power blade modules, and six through 60 circuit signal modules. All of the modules can be configured to accommodate virtually any design application with no tooling costs or additional lead-time. The high-current contact blades in DC (5.50mm) and AC (7.50mm) spacing options provide even greater design flexibility.

Power blades are available in right angle and vertical orientations to accommodate either coplanar or perpendicular applications. Both the plug and receptacle utilize reliable, proven Molex power and signal contact designs and feature last-mate/first-break (LMFB) or first-mate/last-break (FMLB) capability. The original 3-row signal module comes in 2.54 by 2.54mm pitch signal spacing while the high-density, 5-row signal module (HDS) is available in a 2.00 by 1.65mm pitch for use in space constrained areas.
