Connector cuts space required

The Molex LPH connector is available with four to 10 power blades and 12 to 40 signal contacts to match individual system requirements

As constant demands for size reduction increase the need for more compact designs in power solutions, engineers are looking for systems that offer more power in a reduced space. Molex has released the LPH low-profile hybrid right-angle connector, designed to reduce space and lower costs, compared to traditional power interconnects.

This hybrid system offers a mixed power and signal contact design, intended to accommodate DC power requirements.

Additionally, at a height of only 7.50mm off the PCB, the Molex LPH connector enhances system airflow, allowing power supplies and systems to run cooler.

Isolated upper and lower contacts also allow for the use of power and return signals in the same bay to save board space.

This connector system is suitable for applications in power supplies, servers, routers, storage, industrial controllers, 1 and 2 rack unit (RU) modular enclosures and chassis-based systems applications.

'As higher current levels are needed in the same or smaller mechanical envelopes, engineers are searching for innovative ways to meet the demand for smaller power connectors that satisfy their new system requirements', Michael Bean, Product Manager, Molex said.

The LPH connector is designed to mate with either Molex plugs or an industry standard 1.57mm thick card edge.

This provides greater flexibility for mating to the daughtercard.

The Molex LPH connector is available with four to 10 power blades and 12 to 40 signal contacts to match individual system requirements and is also offered with self-aligning guides and/or PCB peg options.

Additionally, the LPH system is rated for current interruption to match true hot-plugging requirements.

Molex LPH Connector System offers a reliable solution for applications requiring higher current where space and airflow are critical.
