Product Facts
■
Single-piece molded
housings
Custom configurable
modular design
AC and DC power in the
same connector — Meets
UL safety requirements
Current Interrupt ratings per
UL 1977 — for “Hot-Plug”
applications
Compact size — suitable
for distributed DC power
applications
Molded-in guide pins
provide generous blind-
mateability
Up to 3 levels of contact
sequencing:
■
1st — Pwr/Gnd
■
2nd — Pwr & Signals
■
3rd — Trigger Signals
Low Mating and Un-mating
force
Solder or press-fit
termination to PCB
Meets SSI power connector
requirements for DPS, MPS
and HPS applications
30 micro-inch

The MULTI-BEAM XL and
MULTI-BEAM XLE modules
are a blind-mateable board-
to-board power distribution
connector system. With a
variety of available power
contacts and a modular
design, customers are able
to customize this connector
to their exact needs. In
addition to selecting the
number of power and
signal contacts, customers
are also able to choose the
mating sequence of con-
tacts they need for their
specific application.
MULTI-BEAM XL connec-
tors feature dual-beam and
four-beam power contacts,
rated at 35A. The new
MULTI-BEAM connector
features a true hot-plug
designed three-beam
contact, rated at 43A.
The product is also avail-
able in versions complying
with the Server Systems
Infrastructure (SSI)
Standard. MULTI-BEAM XL
and MULTI-BEAM XLE
products offer high reliabil-
ity and high current density
in a package designed
specifically for modular
hot-swappable power
distribution systems. They
are ideal for blind-mating in
modular and rack mounted
systems. The high perform-
ance design and heavy
gold plated contacts meet
requirements across many
applications including
power distribution for com-
pact (1U) computer servers
through high-end servers,
fault-tolerant computers,
networking equipment,
telecommunication
switches, medical instru-
mentation, and industrial
control equipment.
The compact design also
meets the I/O standard
of modern modular and
hot-swappable redundant
(N+1) power supplies
and uninterruptible power
supplies.
