Durable power connection systems incorporating Amphenol FC612N2AA for high current applications
Positronic Power Connection Systems
Product Description
Positronic's Power Connection Systems (PCS) offer robust and reliable interconnect solutions designed for high-current applications. Since their introduction in 1989, the PCS series has been a preferred choice for power connectors across various industries. Key features include low contact resistance, sequential mating options, discriminating locking systems, and a variety of configurations for board-to-board, board-to-cable, and cable-to-cable connections. The series utilizes a Large Surface Area (L.S.A.) contact mating system that separates mechanical and electrical functions for superior performance, minimizing voltage drop. Compliant press-in terminations, such as the Bi-Spring Power Press-in termination, offer reliable, solderless connections with reduced insertion and extraction forces, minimizing the risk of PCB damage. The connectors are designed for demanding environments and are backed by extensive technical expertise and manufacturing capabilities.
