EXTreme Guardian™ System

Exceed high-current and reliability requirements with EXTreme Guardian™ Power Connector System, providing EMI/RFI shielding with overmolded and non-overmolded cable harness options in vertical and right-angle configurations for design flexibility

Customers continue to require greater high-current densities to meet the growing power requirements in networking and datacom equipment.

The EXTreme Guardian™ Power Connector System addresses the need for reaching high-current densities (up to 185.0A per inch) in a compact form factor plus provides design flexibility with EMI/RFI shielding, complete overmolded harnesses and a non-overmolded set of standard harness components (available in 2 to 6 circuits).
