CPCI power connector
Winchester Electronics

Winchester Electronics' new 47-position CompactPCI® Power Connectors are designed to the requirements of PICMG® Power Interface Specification 2.11 R1.0 for use in connecting CompactPCI pluggable power supplies to backplanes in subrack equipment based on IEEE 1101.1, IEEE 1101.10, and VITA 30 packaging specifications.

The PICMG Power Interface Specification recommends using 47-position power connectors in all new CompactPCI system designs, superceding prior practices incorporating either similar looking 38-position connectors or DIN 24+8 Type-M power connectors.

Typical CompactPCI system packaging requires right-angle male connectors to be mounted onto daughtercards (free boards) and vertical female socket connectors to be mounted onto backplanes (fixed boards.) Systems containing 3U power supplies utilize one mated pair, while systems containing 6U power supplies use two mated connector pairs.

The 47-position CompactPCI Power Connector provides both versatility and performance through its combination of DC and AC power contacts.
