Molex PowerPlane Busbar Power Connectors
Molex PowerPlane Busbar Power Connectors improve electrical performance by using a very conductive copper alloy, which helps keep voltage loss low and reduces heat. The PowerPlane power connectors are offered in screw-mount or solder-attach configurations for secure attachment to busbars or PCBs. These power connectors operate within a temperature range from -40°C to +125°C and support a maximum voltage of 600V AC. Typical applications include automotive, industrial automation, networking, commercial vehicles, and telecommunications.

Molex PowerPlane Busbar Power Connectors are available with various configurations and features to provide high current performance in consumer, data center, networking, telecom, and many other applications.
Molex PowerPlane Busbar Power Connectors use a high-conductivity copper alloy that allows for low voltage drop, minimizing heat generation. The contacts are silver-plated, and they have multiple independent points of contact to enable high reliability and enhanced performance, with 40% more points of contact than competitive products.
Right-angle connectors are available with solder tab or screw mount attachments, and vertical assemblies come in screw mount attachments, providing designers with a scalable solution based on the same separable interface.
The innovative contact technology on the connectors allows for mating with 3mm and 3.18mm thick busbars while offering ±1mm gatherability.
