Connector Speeds PCB Swap-Out July 2002 Issue Published Date: July 01, 2002
Introduced as the industry’s first 60A power interconnect to replace terminal blocks, the 603 pluggable connection system also claims to allow for 10 times faster pc-board swap-out times compared to hard-wired terminal blocks. The system is a drop-in replacement and meets Bellcore’s 60A limit for power conducted by a single cable to a switch. Reportedly, users can replace power boards in about three minutes as opposed to the 30 minutes required for rewiring a terminal block. Available in right-angle and straight header configurations, the three-wire connector accepts up to 6 AWG wire and provides two sets of terminal entries.MARINCO INDUSTRIAL GROUP, Napa, CA.
