Samtec mPOWER® Ultra Micro Power Connectors

Samtec mPOWER® Ultra Micro Power Connectors feature 2mm power blade interconnects, delivering up to 18A (460VAC/651VDC maximum) in a small form factor to support board-to-board and cable-to-board applications. The mPOWER connector system provides a versatile, high-power micro solution with exceptional design flexibility across a single product family. With a wide range of stack heights, the mPOWER series integrates easily into new or existing architectures. Discrete wire cable assemblies streamline board layout while efficiently delivering power directly to the system's active components.

Samtec mPOWER Ultra Micro Power Connectors are a Severe Environment Test (SET) qualified product. SET is a Samtec initiative to test products beyond typical industry standards and specifications. These products undergo additional testing to ensure they are more than suitable for rugged / harsh environments such as military, space, automotive, industrial, and other extreme applications.
