Power connection components with Amphenol MC112N offering versatile mounting and termination options
Positronic Power Connection Systems
Product Overview
Positronic's Power Connection Systems (PCS) offer robust and reliable interconnect solutions for a wide range of applications. Established in 1966, Positronic leverages decades of expertise in connector development, including involvement in international specifications and holding numerous patents for unique connector features. The PCS series is designed for high-reliability power applications, featuring a vertically integrated manufacturing process from raw materials to finished connectors. Key advantages include low contact resistance, sequential mating options, discriminating locking systems, and a variety of mounting configurations such as board-to-board, board-to-cable, and cable-to-cable. The series utilizes a Large Surface Area (L.S.A.) contact mating system that separates mechanical and electrical functions for superior performance, and offers compliant press-in terminations for reliable, solderless connections. Positronic provides comprehensive technical support, quality assurance, and custom product development to meet diverse customer requirements.
