ITT unveils stackable power interconnect unit
An
ITT Interconnect Solutions product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Oct 9, 2008
ITT Interconnect Solutions has developed a stacking power interconnect unit which eliminates multiple power and signal cable connectors by integrating them into a single stackable unit.
Originally developed for a commercial customer, the stacking power interconnect streamlines product appearance, provides superior power and signal handling performance and is more cost-effective than separate connectors.
ITT's commercial customers needed a low-cost product that would eliminate four different cable connectors handling power and signals in a motorised wheelchair.
They also requested a locking feature, IP67 sealing and a lifecycle of at least 1,000 mating cycles.
ITT developed a unit consisting of a series of stackable connector modules with a single integrated power connection, enabling the customer to eliminate five different connectors.
Each module in the stacking power interconnect consists of seven gold contacts capable of handling 15A each, which can distribute signal and power.
The unit features a positive 'snap' lock when engaged and a sliding lock mechanism so it is possible to check visually that the unit is properly engaged.
Further specifications include an IP67 sealed interface, and built-in polarisation and cable strain relief.
For manufacturers, potential applications for the stacking power interconnect are medical equipment such as powered hospital beds, industrial power interconnects and domestic appliances such as white goods.
