Power Connector Boasts High Performance December 2005 Issue Published Date: December 14, 2005
Described as a low-cost, high-performance product, the Power Clip power connector acts as an interface between two perpendicular power bus bars. The connector finds employment in N+1 rectifier, power-supply, and switching-power-supply applications. Its contact is said to provide a low-voltage drop and superior current-carrying capabilities. The clip accepts a solid, 0.125"-thick nickel or gold-plated, rectangular bus bar tab, thereby eliminating the need for a mating connector. The Power Clip meets UL1977 and CSA standard C22.2 No. 182.3-M1987 requirements and is rated for up to 300A of continuous service. It is also UL approved for true hot-plug current interruption, 100A at 48V and 200A at 42V, using a gold bus bar tab. ANDERSON POWER PRODUCTS, Sterling, MA. (978) 422-3600.
