multi-beam xl is a blind-mateable board-to-board power distribution connector system.
The Multi‑Beam XL™ Power Distribution Connector System is a blind‑mateable board‑to‑board solution that offers higher current ratings, lower contact resistance and reduced mating force. It is designed in a modular fashion, allowing customers to select the number of power and signal contacts, as well as the contact sequencing, to suit specific applications such as servers, networking equipment, medical devices and industrial control.
The catalog provides detailed product features, contact designs, configurable part numbers, mechanical specifications, and ordering forms. It also lists performance data, material composition, and safety certifications for both standard and lead‑free versions.
