Powerful and Customizable Connectors
With a variety of available power and signal contacts, mating sequences, and a modular design, you can design in the MULTI-BEAM XLE, MULTI-BEAM XL, MULTI-BEAM High Density (HD) or MULTI-BEAM Plus power connectors that best fit your application needs. These connectors are ideal for blind-mating in modular and rack mounted systems.
NEW MULTI-BEAM Plus Connectors
Save space and reduce power consumption
Our MULTI-BEAM Plus power connectors address the market need for higher power and higher performance with the highest current per power contact up to 100A/contact with four adjacent power contacts. This higher power and signal density saves space and reduces power consumption. These connectors are the next generation of our MULTI-BEAM XLE connectors. They share the same low profile dimension and enable the same airflow through your system.
MULTI-BEAM Plus connectors are the next evolution of our MULTI-BEAM XLE connectors. They share the same low profile dimension and enable the same airflow through the system. Like our MULTI-BEAM XL, MULTI-BEAM XLE, and MULTI-BEAM HD power connectors, the scalable and modular design of MULTI-BEAM Plus connectors also supports greater flexibility in configuration and PCB design.
ADAPT
Modular tooling makes the connector highly configurable.
SLIM
Slim guide sockets reduce the overall PCB footprint.
↓HEAT
Vented housing allows for better heat dissipation.

Things to Consider
When Choosing a Power Connector
When choosing a power connector, consider the type of connector the application needs, its current and voltage requirements, and whether or not it will require hot-pluggability:
APP
Does the application require a board-to-board, wire-to-board, wire-to-wire, bus bar, or a combination of these types of connectors? Our portfolio of power connectors can help.
VOLT
Does the connector require power only, or a combination of power and signal, and how much current is required in the application?
HOT
Will the application be mated while under electrical load? If so, a hot-pluggable MULTI-BEAM connector is required.
