® Power Clip Connector Series The Anderson Power Products Power Clip is FEATURES designed as a low cost interconnection between two perpendicular power bus bars.  High 300A Current Rating The products high performance contact Small size provides dense power packaging offers low voltage drop and superior amperage carrying capability. There is no mating connector to the Power Clip as it  Mates with .125 inches or 3mm Flat accepts a solid .125 inches or 3mm thick Bus Bar Blade nickel or gold plated rectangular bus bar tab. Simplifies construction and lowers cost The product is often used in "N+1" rectifier, power supply and switching power supply  Blind Mating Design applications. The Power Clip's design Allows greater vertical chassis manufacturing enables the connector to be blind mated in tolerances the deepest racks.  Hot Pluggable Contact The Power Clip is recognized to UL1977 and CSA standard C22.2 and is rated for up to Supports hot swapping on 48 volt DC bus 300 amps continuous service. The product is also UL approved for hot plug current  UL, TUV and CUR Recognized interruption of 100A at 48V and 200A at 42V Product safety and electrical performance has using a gold plated bus bar tab. been verified to the highest standards PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS Electrical Mechanical Materials Current Rating (Amperes) (1) Insertion Force (lbs) 23 to 43 Housing PBT UL94 V-0 UL 300 (N) 102 to 191 Contact Band Beryllium copper alloy CSA (30°C Rise) 200 Extraction Force (lbs) 10.5 to 30.5 Plating gold 0.4 to 0.6 microns over 2 to UL / CSA Voltage Rating (AC/DC) 600 (N) 47 to 136 5 microns nickel Operating Temperature Range Mating Contact Holder Copper alloy (C°) -40° to 105° a.

The set up for the test consisted of the following:  Six Power Clips were mounted on a bus bar that was 0.25 x 1.75 x 6.0 inches in diameter.  The test samples were connected in series using 1/0 AWG wire attached to a 1" long and .125" thick nickel plated mating blades.
