High current board-to-board connector enhances system airflow

LPH is a mixed high-current power and signal connector system in a co-planer board-to-board orientation. Designed as a new generation power interconnect, Molex’s LPH connector boasts numerous advantages. Low-profile power contacts enhance system airflow with power contacts that are parallel to the PC board, permitting an overall connector height of only 7.50mm (.295”). The receptacle and plug headers have isolated upper and lower power blades in each power bay; 2 through 5 power bays are available. In addition, the receptacle has the flexibility to mate with either an LPH plug header or a 1.57mm (.062”) thick card edge. The power blades are rated up to 30.0A per contact, providing up to 120.0A per linear inch of space. Both the plug and receptacle utilize reliable, Molex EBBI™ leaf style signal contacts, available in 12 to 40 circuits.
