ITW McMurdo Red range Rack and Panel Power Connectors

 
 

These cost efficient rack and panel connector ranges are capable of handling 5 Amps per contact (all contacts simultaneously) at 100°C ambient and 750V rms. The moulded high impact DAP insulator will withstand -50°C to 125°C. Rugged and heavy duty they are superb in industrial/commercial equipment like bank ATM, vending and office machines, gaming equipment, mobile radios, TV cameras and industrial control applications where larger gauge wires of up to 16AWG are required. The strong, low insertion force, self-wiping contacts are designed such that the plug and socket will self-align, making them ideal as power edge card connectors for inaccessible applications such as the rear of sliding trays and panels, on cable ends or even as battery connections in hand held measuring instruments. They have been specifically designed to prevent misalignment and damaged contacts in such "blind" mating.
