Features and Benefits
Engineers often face challenges in finding connectors that are both readily available and configurable to meet specific power and signal requirements. Space and budget constraints further limit designers when purchasing high-current power connectors, especially when they must pay for excess contacts or tooling. Additionally, transferring power and signals between two boards requires multiple connectors, increasing cost and complexity.
EXTreme Ten60 Power Connectors provide standard modular components that meet power needs while minimizing PCB space usage. These products offer design flexibility across a wide range of power and signal requirements, orientations, and applications without tooling charges. The EXTreme Ten60 Mezzanine Connector option enables designers to deliver power and signal connectivity between parallel boards using a single connector, resulting in a much smaller footprint and substantial cost savings. This hybrid mezzanine connector option also enhances design flexibility and increases the modularity of EXTreme Power products.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are EXTreme Ten60 Power Connectors?
EXTreme Ten60 Power Connectors are high‑power, high‑density interconnect solutions designed for applications that demand efficient power distribution and reliable high‑current performance. Engineered for backplane, midplane and board‑to‑board architectures, these connectors offer scalable power delivery, multiple pitch options and flexible circuit configurations to support a wide range of high‑power system requirements. With features such as blind‑mating capability and hybrid power‑and‑signal mezzanine configurations, EXTreme Ten60 Connectors provide a compact, modular solution for high‑power applications.
How long does it typically take to receive 3D models, drawings and samples for application configurations?
To support rapid prototyping design requirements, Molex provides a configurator for timing requirements. Our typical time frame is one business day for models, one business day for drawings and around two weeks for prototypes, depending on component availability.
When should I select a split-power blade versus a standard blade?
In the EXTreme Ten60 Connector system, standard blades offer a 95.0A potential with a 5.50 and 7.50mm pitch. The split power option allows for a 3.50mm pitch with 30.0A per side or 60.0A with a 6.00mm pitch. The split-power blade offers the ability to run more +/- current in a tighter space.
How many mating cycles can these connectors handle?
Extreme Ten60 Connectors are rated for 200 mate/unmate cycles. Some applications have used these connectors beyond the cycle rating with success.
What is the gatherability/misalignment?
EXTreme Ten60 Connector side guides offer 1.80mm misalignment gatherability in both X and Y dimensions. The top guides offer 2.40mm misalignment gatherability in both X and Y dimensions.
What certifications do these connectors have?
EXTreme Ten60 Connectors have been certified to CSA std. C22.2 No 182.3-M1987 and UL 1977 (UL File Number E29179).
What blade length and signal-pin length options are offered? Can they be used for FMLB and in-rush connections?
EXTreme Ten60 Connectors offer plug blade lengths for 8.00, 10.00 and 12.00mm lengths. The connectors’ high-density signal terminals are available in three plug-connection length options (6.54, 7.54 and 8.54mm). These signal pins may be used in FMLB configurations. Contact Molex about which configuration you need for which row. Yes, these connectors may be used in FMLB and in-rush connections.
What is the stack height for the EXTreme Ten60 Mezzanine Connector?
The EXTreme Ten60 Mezzanine Connector offers a 21.00mm stack height, providing a robust and reliable spacing solution for board‑to‑board applications.
Can EXTreme Ten60 Mezzanine Connectors support both power and signal?
Yes, the mezzanine option for EXTreme Ten60 offers a hybrid connector solution, meaning it is specifically designed to carry both power and signal within the same interconnect system, in addition to power only and/or signal only. This allows for streamlined board layouts and reduced connector count.
What are the target applications for EXTreme Ten60 Mezzanine Connectors?
EXTreme Ten60 Mezzanine Connectors are engineered for parallel board-to-board connections, making them suitable for a wide range of industries and applications where design engineers need to transmit power, signal or a combination of both between circuit boards. The versatility of these connectors makes them ideal for systems requiring high density, high performance and efficient power distribution.
Does Molex offer other guide lengths or PCB attachment options?
EXTreme Ten60 Connectors offer 29.00 and 32.00mm guides in both side- and top-guide options. These connectors also have screw-down options available upon request for better PCB retention.
