Hybrid power and signal connectors allow connection from plug side

Allowing mating and un-mating of power and signal cables from the plug-in side, Hirose Electric PS3F hybrid low-profile, front-access connectors are now stocked by Mouser. The PS3F series eliminates the need for on-site cable wiring. Access from the mating side simplifies cable assembly, installation and maintenance in applications such as battery energy storage systems (BESS), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and industrial machinery installed close to walls or other machines that have little clearance behind the equipment. The connector's power contacts support up to 100A with rated voltage to 1000AC/DC. The signal contacts support up to 1A per contact and interface with two of Hirose's GT8E connectors, utilizing one eight and 10 position connector (18 signal lines total). The power contact structure features a reliable clip design with bellows contacts. This blade contact structure features multiple contact points to reduce contact resistance and allow high current carrying capability.
