Amphenol MC612N AA connectors providing robust board to board and cable to cable interconnect options
Product Overview
Positronic's Power Connection Systems (PCS) Series offers robust and reliable interconnect solutions designed for high-current applications. Established in 1966, Positronic is a patent holder with vertically integrated manufacturing, ensuring quality from raw materials to finished connectors. The PCS series features a Large Surface Area (L.S.A.) contact mating system that separates mechanical and electrical functions for superior performance, resulting in low contact resistance and minimized voltage drop. These connectors are available in various configurations, including board-to-board, board-to-cable, and cable-to-cable, with options for straight solder, compliant press-in, and right-angle terminations. Key features include sequential mating options, discriminating locking systems, and size 12 contacts with screw terminations, as well as safety-shrouded options. The company's commitment to quality is demonstrated through its capable Quality Assurance lab and adherence to international specifications.
