Powell Electronics adds Positronic’s modular connector system
With over 35 modules and “nearly limitless” pin configurations, the Positronic Scorpion modular connector system is now available from Powell Electronics.
The components can be configured for use as power connectors (16 to 120A), signal level connectors or as a combination of the two in a variety of power / signal contact configurations. The modular tooling provides multiple keying options while still providing a one-piece insulator for use in the finished connector.
The modules in the Scorpion series are available in standard profile (14.6mm) and low profile (8.2mm) versions. Blank module options allow design engineers to space power and signal contacts to meet creepage and clearance values required for specific applications.
The Scorpion series includes board-to-board, cable-to-cable or board and panel-to-cable or board versions. An outlet hole enables air cooling onto a power contact. Termination options are solder PCB mount, crimp and press-fit. Mating alternatives are blind mating, float mount, panel mount and cable connector with a locking system. The precision formed and solid machined contacts have shielded, high voltage and hyperboloid contact versions.
