The HCI® connector system anticipates the continued trend toward increased system power demands that is driving the need for increased power density. The HCI® connector system is designed to address requirements that extend beyond the capability of Amphenol's proven PwrBlade® connector system, the industry standard for DC power supply interfaces and power distribution.
The HCI® connector system likewise provides capability for both power and signal contacts in a single connector to enable power distribution and power control. Integrated HCI® power connector solutions, enabling DC power, AC power, and signal contacts in a single molded housing, also provide incredible flexibility to address requirements for custom configurations.
HCI® connector employ stamped and formed power contacts, initially pioneered by Amphenol with its PwrBlade® system, as an innovative and cost effective alternative to expensive screwmachined contacts for high-current applications.
The touch-proof HCI® housing is designed to optimize airflow. The housing permits airflow through the connector by providing vents above the signal field as well as vents above the power contacts that permit airflow away from the mated interfaces and along the entire length of the contacts.
Available HCI® options support standard coplanar (right-angle header to right-angle receptacle) and backplane (right-angle header to vertical receptacle) form factors.
