Design steps for power connectors

To improve the efficiency of the power supply system for electronic devices, it is necessary to increase the density of the overall power supply rack while ensuring the normal operation of the system. As for power connectors, as long as they improve heat dissipation and reduce power loss, this is not easy in theory. To tackle the challenges of these power connectors, it is necessary to put in a lot of effort in the design process. So, what is the correct way to flip over the design steps of power connectors? Below, the Electric Bee Optimal Connector Engineer will provide you with a detailed introduction to the design steps of power connectors.

Generally speaking, the design steps of power connectors are divided into four points, as follows:

Step 1: High compactness. Nowadays, some power connectors have a pitch of only 3.00 millimeters and can carry a rated current of up to 5.0 amperes. Their connectors are made of high-temperature LCP materials, and their technology has been tested for a long time to ensure excellent performance and reliability. They are suitable for almost any industry, including data communication equipment and heavy industry.

Step 2: Sensitivity. In addition to the design feature of high compactness, the power connector must have extremely high sensitivity in the design process. The design can separate compactness from excellent current density, adopting an ultra narrow design to meet high voltage and high current applications. Each blade can provide up to 34 amps of current and can withstand working temperatures up to+125 ° C.

Step 3: Heat dissipation. Additionally, when it comes to the most important heat dissipation performance of the power system, the design of the connector has a direct impact on the internal airflow of the power supply. However, users cannot rely solely on connector design to address heat dissipation issues. In order to optimize the system design, other factors must also be considered, such as the amount of copper on the PCB, which can assist in absorbing heat from the connector interface.

Step 4: High efficiency. At the same time, the power connector can provide a more compact and high current processing plan to meet higher power efficiency requirements. Due to the higher current that can improve power or safety factor, and the high-performance contact design that can truly achieve hot plugging function, the low voltage drop design ensures that the generated heat is minimized.
