Quick Reference Guide
2-Piece Power Connectors
THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING POWER CONNECTORS
Application. Does the application require a board-to-board, wire-to-board, wire-to-wire, bus bar, card edge
or a combination of these types of connectors?
Current and Voltage. Does the connector require power only, or a combination of power and signal?
How much current is required in the application? Keep in mind that power connector performance is
typically measured in amperes (or amps). The voltage is also very important as it defines the spacing
between the contacts.
Hot-Pluggability. Will the application be mated while under electrical load? If so, a hot-pluggable connector
is required. Many of the products in this guide have been approved for use in hot-plug applications.

VME Switched Serial in
the next generation of
VME backplanes and
introduces features like
improved bandwidth,
backward compatibility
and increased power
delivery into the existing
VMEbus technology.
