AirMax VS® POWER CONNECTORS PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The handbook describes the AirMax VS® power connectors, which complement the high‑speed signal connector family. It details the compact, high‑power design, flat contacts, and an insulator that promotes airflow for better heat dissipation. Current‑carrying capacity reaches up to 40 A per contact in 1×2 modules and 20 A in larger arrays, with total module ratings of 80 A.
Technical data include mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, material composition, safety certifications, and part numbers for various right‑angle and vertical configurations. The document also lists approved standards such as UL 60950, IEC 60950‑1, and Telcordia GR‑1217‑CORE, making it suitable for servers, storage, networking, and industrial applications.
