Improving conversion efficiency and thermal performance of the power supply system, apart from the most basic to start power chip, power connectors also plays an important role. In order to understand the development trend of the current power connectors and various design challenges exist, I had the honor to invite Mr. and Greater China from FCI's vice president and general manager Huang sound Korea region, with its total power connectors explore the future direction of the industry.
 
Huang Zhensheng
 
As one of the most senior seniors currently connector industry, Mr. Huang sound witnessed in 27 years of career practitioners connector connector industry burgeoning market in China, the development and growth of mature, experienced numerous opportunities and challenges!

Huang Zhensheng said the technological evolution of the power connectors will usually follow the development direction of the electronic system. With big data, high-speed networking applications development, intelligence will be the main trend of future communications equipment, electronic equipment, electronic systems can have their requirements automatically identify is identified, the remote transmission of data extraction, automatic alarm monitoring, auto repair and other functions, all of these trends in development of the market for power supply connector a higher requirement, embodied as: miniaturization, higher density and absolute flow-through flow capacity, lower contact resistance in order to reduce heat loss and more the application of high environmental adaptability (physical environment and safety), higher integration (AC + DC + Signal + Sensor), users of the products can be freely edited special needle assembly, as well as higher cost and so on.
 
In large data center field of data communication, for example, due to the construction cost of the room expensive, once in use, by the latter part of the transformation of the expansion room is very unrealistic, the owner or operator typically by optimizing the arrangement of the engine room layout density communications equipment, enhance the engine room area on the computing unit, memory, the ability to exchange data to reduce costs, therefore, communication systems must be miniaturized, high densification, which must require the duty cycle of the power supply is smaller, higher output, and higher the conversion efficiency of the system to reduce heat loss, the corresponding power supply connector must also meet these design requirements.
 
FCI Three power connector technology
 
"Data communications power connector FCI has been one of the core product line." Huang sound representation, FCI continued investment in R & D product innovation, new materials, new technology, hard work, introduced a number of affirmative by the user product. From the design point of view, FCI Power product line is very complete, single contact flow capacity from 4 amps until 300 amperes. These products cover almost all of the application forms:
1. Goldfinger and PCB mating connector PCE monolithic and HPCE, can coplanar, perpendicular, lining applications.
2. The board to board connector applications, such as PB, PB +, HCI, BTB-HPCE, PB Ultra, PwrMax etc., can be realized coplanar, perpendicular, pinch and other interworking mode.
3. Power I / O cable, you can achieve wire-to-wire, wire-to-board, wire-to-PCB applications and so on Goldfinger.
4. Terminals and terminals.
5. Bus and large-current applications for bus interface connector, such as Barklip, Barguide like.
 
HPCE Mezzanine Connectors
 
Secondly, FCI power connectors are in the form of a modular design. This design feature allows engineers to develop power supply according to different application environments, different design projects for the required power supply connector features free editing, saving at least 60 days of product mold time and authentication time, significantly reduce product development cycle and reduce the customer's product development costs, FCI of PB products, for example, as long as the product length size 8 inches (203.2MM) inside, customers can according to different projects or the same project for the different needs of the power connectors are freely edit Product Features:
 
Requirements 1. Have AC terminals
2. Have FMLB demand
3. Have the guide needs
4. Different power supply terminal pitch: 5.08MM, 6.35MM, 7.62MM
5. The power supply terminal (P) and the terminal (S) of the free permutations signals, such as P, P + S, S + P, P + S + P, etc.
6. The connector pins and the PCB board mounting fixation: mechanical crimping (PF) or through hole reflow (THR / PIP)
7. The different application methods: WTB, WTW, BTB, etc.
 
It means lower power consumption and higher transmission efficiency, but also to heat connector or power supply system is very helpful.
