The EXTreme Guardian system delivers power of 80.0A per blade (185.0A per inch) in a small form factor while providing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) shielding options.
The EXTreme Guardian solution is UL and CSA certified and capable of handling up to 600V, supporting high voltage with the lowest feasible voltage drop and I2R (irreversible dissipative power) losses. It has recessed terminals and features first-mate/last-break (FMLB) capability to allow hot-swapping of power units for reduced network downtime. The PCB headers use locating pegs that allow accurate through-hole positioning of the connector on the board and are available in through-hole solder and press-fit for additional manufacturing options. The harness crimp terminals accept 10, 8, 12/12 or 6 AWG wire and can minimise terminal back out issues with a terminal position assurance (TPA) option while an integral latch secures the cable from accidental disconnection.
