EXTreme Guardian HD (Board-to-Board)

Features and Benefits


EXTreme Guardian (Wire-to-Board)

Housings accept large gauge wire (up to 6 AWG):
Provides a large current-carrying capacity.

Terminal interface with 6 independent points of contact:
Offers redundant, secondary current paths for long-term performance and reliability.

Positive locking housing:
Ensures secure retention when receptacle and header are mated.
Delivers an audible click to provide feedback that the connector is fully mated.

Fully isolated receptacle terminals and header blades:
Protection against potential damage during handling and mating.

EXTreme Guardian HD (Board-to-Board)

Provides one of the greatest current density solutions:
Current density up to 394.0A per inch.

Configurable Hybrid power/signal connectors:
Provides high-current density in a low-profile package for design flexibility.

Redundant contact design that handles up to 125V:
Supports AC or DC high-voltage applications with the lowest feasible voltage drop and irreversible dissipative power losses.

High temp of 125°C rating (power circuits):
Provides greater margin for customers’ temperature designs.

Overview


Customers continue to require greater high-current densities to meet the growing power requirements in networking and datacom equipment.

The EXTreme Guardian Power Connector System addresses the need for reaching high-current densities (up to 185.0A per inch) in a compact form factor plus provides design flexibility with EMI/RFI shielding, complete overmolded harnesses, and a non-overmolded set of standard harness components (available in 2 to 6 circuits), in wire-to-board configurations.

EXTreme Guardian HD Power Connectors offer configurable hybrid power/signal solutions with increased power in limited footprint spaces. These board-to-board connectors provide more current in a low-profile package for required space savings and design flexibility.
