Compact contacts take power onboard
Compact and robust, Mini-Powerclaw contacts provide the design engineer with more options when board space is at a minimum
Anderson Power Products has developed two new and improved Powerclaw contacts, the Horizontal and Vertical Mini-Powerclaws. Like their predecessors, the Mini-Powerclaw PCB contacts are designed to meet the demands of the power electronics market for high current (55A/600V maximum) carrying capability.

Compact and robust, the Mini-Powerclaw contacts provide the design engineer with more options when board space is at a minimum.
This helps reduce cost when designing PCB configurations.
The quick disconnect designs are hot-pluggable (see factory for ratings) to allow system maintenance without the need to power down the system, or unfasten ring type terminals.
Both the Horizontal and the Vertical Mini-Powerclaw contacts can be used with APP's existing Powerpole 75A and SB 50A connector.
The Horizontal and Vertical, when used as single pole contacts, do not require external housings.
APP offers a Powerpole and SB 'guide housing' when the Vertical contact is used with a SB 50 or 75A multipole connector.
This prevents the user from reversing polarity.
Both options greatly decrease the overall length from the wire to board-mated pair, which in turn reduces system cost.
APP's Powerclaw contacts are shipped in ESD packaging for prevention of potential electrostatic charges that could damage ESD sensitive components.
Additionally, the vacuum-sealed package also provides additional protection against tarnishing or adverse environmental reactions that may affect the contact.
