EXTreme OrthoPower® Orthogonal Direct-Power Connector System

EXTreme OrthoPower® Orthogonal Direct-Power Connector System

Delivering 60.0A via split-blade technology, Molex’s innovative EXTreme OrthoPower® Orthogonal Direct-Power Connector System solves the networking and telecommunications challenge of routing power to backplane line cards

OEM design engineers are challenged with space and board-routing constraints and bringing power to line cards. Direct power is increasingly more important because of the need for higher system speeds and more cost-effective solutions. The EXTreme OrthoPower® Orthogonal Direct-Power Connector System relieves some of this pressure by using a dedicated power card to power each line card for 30.0A in-and-out routing, totaling 60.0A per module. The connector mounts orthogonally to a dedicated power card to provide power directly to each line card. This first-to-market configuration provides cost savings by eliminating power routing through orthogonal direct backplane connectors. These connectors utilize proven technology from our EXTreme LPHPower™ and EXTreme Ten60Power™ High-Current Connector systems.
