Diverse and customizable card edge power portfolio addresses high-current power and poor signal connectivity
Our comprehensive card edge power connector portfolio can offer safer, customizable, Modular Common Redundant Power Supply (M-CRPS) and Common Redundant Power Supply (CRPS) compliant, high-current and high-density power connections to address various power supply unit (PSU) and riser cards for a variety of different end applications.
We have shaped our considerable card edge power connector portfolio into a comprehensive offering with the introduction of single-beam, high-density (HD) heightened, HD plus (HD+) 5- and 8- beam card edge power connectors, supporting current ranging from 5.2A/pitch (5.2A/2.54mm pitch) to 46A/pitch (~15A/2.54mm).
M-CRPS Card Edge Power Connectors
New Product
TE Connectivity's (TE) M-CRPS card edge power connectors compliant with Open Compute Project (OCP) modular hardware system – common redundant power supply (M-CRPS), provide robust dual-layer power contacts to support 3,200W power level. With an innovative pass-through contact design and multiple contact points (up to 6) to achieve lower LLCR, vertical card edge connectors provide higher current with lower resistance, all in a durable and maintainable package.
