Connectors terminate wires to PCB-mount receptacles.

Press Release Summary:



MULTI-BEAM XL current pass-thru power distribution connectors securely terminate up to 8 AWG wire directly into MULTI-BEAM XL PCB-mounted receptacles. Design allows ac and dc power to pass through same connector without high voltage power being electrically connected to PCB. Also available, MULTI-BEAM XL coax connector takes MULTI-BEAM XL PCB-mounted receptacles and terminates coax cable to simultaneously connect power, signal, and coax.



Original Press Release:



MULTI-BEAM XL Product Line Expanded



HARRISBURG, Pa. - October 22, 2007 - Tyco Electronics announced the release of two new MULTI-BEAM XL connectors - the MULTI-BEAM XL current pass-thru power distribution connector system and the MULTI-BEAM XL coax connector.

The MULTI-BEAM XL current pass-thru connectors securely terminate up to an 8 AWG wire directly into MULTI-BEAM XL pcb mounted receptacles. The design includes a 'Terminal Position Assurance' (TPA) feature that confirms the manually inserted wires are fully seated and will not pull loose. The design of the connector allows both high voltage (AC) and low voltage (DC) power to pass through the same connector, without the high voltage power being electrically connected to the pcb. This separation of power eliminates the concerns of high voltage power running through circuit boards better suited to carry only low voltage. The unique way of using the MULTI-BEAM XL receptacle as a sort of 'docking' station makes it ideal for applications where both high voltage and low voltage power on both cables and circuit boards need to be routed through one central location.

The new MULTI-BEAM XL coax connector is similar to the pass-thru design. It takes the same MULTI-BEAM XL pcb mounted receptacles and terminates a coax cable. These connectors connect power, signal, and coax simultaneously and are well suited for modular equipment used in the industrial, telecommunications and broadcast industries.

Both the MULTI-BEAM XL current pass-thru and coax connectors are readily available. Samples and literature are available through your local Tyco Electronics Sales Engineer, or the product information center at 1-800-522-6752.
