FCI’s Host-To-Card connectors, also known as Hard Metric High Power, are intended for applications where power is delivered through a midplane or backplane into some type of daughter card. Hard Metric High Power Connectors are a perfect complement to FCI‘s high speed ZipLine® and AirMax VS® signal connectors as well as Millipacs®. These power connectors mount alongside their signal counterparts and are used in applications where bulk current must pass through a backplane or midplane to power consuming components on a mating daughter card (blades, controller boards, etc). The power contacts incorporate multiple points of contact and are made using a high conductivity copper alloy.  In addition, the unique housing design includes openings that allow air to flow through the mated connectors thus enhancing heat dissipation properties. These design features enable the connector system‘s high current-carrying capability.
