Power Connectors & Interconnection Systems
MULTI-BEAM XL and MULTI-BEAM XLE Power Distribution Connector Systems (Continued)
MULTI-BEAM XL Connector
■
Expandable length to accommodate up to 36 power contacts
■
Contact spacings are expandable to accommodate higher
voltages and/or higher current requirements
■
4-beam or dual beam power contacts available
■
Base metal made from high conductivity copper alloy
(over 98% copper) offers superior performance compared to
alternative materials
Evolution of MULTI-BEAM Power Contacts
Dual-Beam Contact
■
Original design
■
.017" thick stock
4-Beam Contact
■
.017" thick stock
■
35A current rating
■
Features eight
independent beams
■ Parallel current paths
yield a lower contact
resistance
■
Tuned beam design
provides lower mating
forces and higher
durability life cycles
3-Beam Contact
■
Offered on new
MULTI-BEAM XLE
connector
■ .020" Thick Stock
■ 50A Current Rating
■ Improved design offers
lowest mating force
available in MULTI-BEAM
product line
■ True hot-plug design
preserves the separable
contact interface to
provide long term
reliability after hot-mate
and un-mate cycles
MULTI-BEAM XLE Connector
■
Features new 3-beam power contact
■
Two hot-pluggable power contacts to choose from:
■
50A High power contact (35% increase compared to
MULTI-BEAM XL connector)
■
20A Low power contact (occupies 50% less PCB space
than MULTI-BEAM XL power contact)
■
Slimmer housing design allows 40% more current in the
same space
■
Over 40% lower mating force than original MULTI-BEAM XL
connector
■
Vented housing allows for better air flow

Product Configurations and Part Numbers
The connector configuration is described by reading Left-to-Right on the Plug mating interface and Right-to-Left on the
Receptacle mating interface. Custom configurations can be produced due to the modular design of the product.
Configuration Description: ACP indicates AC Power, P indicates DC Power, HDP indicates High Density Power, LP
indicates Low Power (MULTI-BEAM XLE connector only), S indicates Signal. The corresponding contact spacing and
voltage ratings are shown below.
