When reliability matters in mid power PDB or rack system modules, you need a ruggedized WTB interconnect you can trust. Minitek® Pwr 5.7mm connectors provides a perfect solution delivering high current capacity rated for up to 28A per contact, with polarized mating geometry to prevent mis-mating, a thumb-operated positive locking latch for secure mating retention, and a scoop-proof housing design that protects terminals from damage during mating. The connectors are glow wire compliant and feature a UL 94 V-0 rated LCP material for the housing. They’re rated for 2200Vac dielectric withstand, with maximum initial low level contact resistance of 2mΩ and minimum insulation resistance of 1000MΩ. Choose 2 to 12 circuits, vertical or right-angle through-hole mounting, and wire from 16AWG to 12AWG, with new product expansions planned in Minitek Pwr 5.7mm for making it a complete mid power solution.
