• EXTreme BBC™ | Molex

New telecommunication and high-end computing equipment require increasing amounts of current from power supplies. To meet this challenge, Molex is pleased to expand its product offering of high-current connector solutions with the BBC. The Extreme PowerBBC™ is a compact, high current connector for direct mating of two perpendicular power bus bars typically found in power supply or switching power supply applications. Rated up to 320.0A, the EXTreme Power-BBC offers over 20% more current than competing products. The higher current provides increased power or safety factor for customer applications. The high performance, contact design offers true hot pluggability. The parallel contacts free-float within the EXTreme Power-BBC housing to facilitate blind mating with the bus bar tab. The BBC's mounting dimensions are identical to competing connectors for easy second sourcing opportunities.

Features & Benefits:

• Top entry of the connector mates with a standard 25.40mm (1.000") wide by 3.18mm (.125") thick bus bar tab
• Facilitates mating with de facto output blades for typical power supply applications
• Rated up to 320.0A for high-current applications
• Isolated left and right contacts
• Provide option for power feed and return when BBC is mounted to a laminated bus bar
• Rated for current interruption (Safety agency approvals pending)
• Matches true hot-plugging requirements
• Low-voltage drop
• For minimal heat generation
• Float-mount design
• Provides up to 6° of misalignment to blind-mate with bus bar tab
• Mounts to a bus bar via two, 4.32mm (.170") diameter holes using customer supplied (8"x32" thread) machine screws
• Screw-mount design for secure fastening to bus bar
• Dimensionally compatible with competitive connectors
• Drop-in replacement for second source opportunities
