FCI intros BarKlip cable I/O

SINGAPORE: FCI announced the release of the BarKlip I/O power connector.

The BarKlip I/O connector, rated for up to 200Amps/contact per UL & CSA criteria, offers improved electrical performance and long-term reliability compared with alternative designs.

Designed to meet the Open Compute (OCP) Power Distribution Architecture Standard, the connector is designed to connect with a system rack bar to achieve a direct pluggable connection to an uninsulated busbar. The connection generates low energy loss with a maximum resistance of only 0.2mOhms per contact.

The BarKlip I/O Connector features 14 fully independent cantilevered beams, which provide a true compliant spring to adjust for variations in busbar alignment and surface finish. In addition, the BarKlip™ I/O connector is a floating panel mount design.  An installed height of <34mm 1u="" and="" architectures.="" commonly="" computing="" datacenters="" enables="" equipment="" found="" hyperscale="" in="" nbsp="" new="" p="" rack-mounted="" their="" use="">
The available wire range is 14AWG to 2AWG, allowing users to define the wire gauge and length flexibly in terms of actual requirement.  The BarKlip I/O Connector is designed to operate between -40°C and 125°C.
