The Power Edge includes signal and mixed-power and signal assemblies. The new Power Edge signal contact connectors are designed to provide compact, reliable solutions for direct mating in high-power and signal card edge or bus bar tab applications. Available as vertical signal, power, or mixed-power and signal assemblies, both versions are offered in either press-fit or solder tail terminations to fit standard PC boards or backplanes. The Power Edge signal contact connectors are available in two, three, and four segments. Also, Power Edge connectors can be stacked end-to-end in a variety of signal or mixed-power combinations, saving space and enabling them to mate with double-sided card edge lengths of up to 203.2 mm. These newly added signal and mixed-power and signal assemblies are aptly suited for telecommunication applications such as networking, switches and routers; cellular communication equipment, and mid- to high-range computing applications such as servers and storage systems for power supply and backplane architectures. Power Edge signal contact connectors have isolated contacts on both sides of the connector assembly segment. These enable four independent circuits on each of the upper and lower side of the segment and make it possible for connector combinations of eight signal circuits per segment.
