FCI Introduces PwrMAX® Ortho Power Connectors

SINGAPORE (October 30, 2015) — FCI, a leading supplier of connectors and interconnect systems, today announced an expansion of their power connector family which now includes the PwrMAX® Ortho power connectors.

PwrMAX® Ortho power connectors are designed to support a new datacenter equipment trend known as Orthogonal system packaging architectures. This architecture can offer improved data transfer and improved system cooling by eliminating mid-plane circuit boards. PwrMAX® Ortho power connectors can be used with either busbars or circuit boards to distribute power in systems with orthogonal architectures.

The connectors also feature FCI’s revolutionary new GCS™ plating, and supports current loads of up to 100 amps per contact.  The connector is extremely energy efficient, with a maximum contact resistance of just 0.3mOhms, and is rated to operate at up to 125°C.  

With the unique and robust contact design, the blind-mate-able PwrMAX® Ortho power connectors provide a highly reliable low resistance interconnect path for orthogonal architectures.

Achieve Greater Design Flexibility and Reduce Costs with Chiplets

Sponsored by Keysight

Chiplets are a new way to build a system-on-chips (SoCs) to improve yields and reduce costs. It partitions the chip into discrete elements and connects them with a standardized interface, enabling designers to meet performance, efficiency, power, size, and cost challenges in the 5 / 6G, artificial intelligence (AI), and virtual reality (VR) era. This white paper will discuss the shift to chiplet adoption and Keysight EDA's implementation of the communication standard (UCIe) into the Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS).
