TE Connectivity (TE) has announced availability of its ELCON Mini power connectors and cable assemblies. The ELCON Mini family of products makes it easier for engineers to address increasing power demands, delivering a 400 Volt rating and up to 40 Amps per contact in a two-position, 8 mm-high form factor that is roughly the size of a popular HDMI connector.

ELCON Mini power connectors and cable assemblies are value engineered to address many power and space requirements with 2-, 3-, 4- and 6- (2 × 3) position configurations, while providing a positive metal latch connection, low resistance and highly reliable interface. Cable assembly solutions from TE also offer high-flex and customizable break-out options for easy routing and installation.

In addition to power input/output (I/O) and distribution applications, ELCON Mini connectors and cable assemblies are an internal wire-to-board power solution for the Open Compute Project (OCP) “Wedge” (top-of-rack) switches. The OCP is developing standard data center hardware designs that manufacturers can use to build highly compatible and scalable products with minimal development costs.
