CONNECTOR COMBINES PINS, CONTACTS, BLADES AND COMPONENTS

The MultiWise Connector is an industry-advancing connector technology that combines pins, contacts, and blades on a single platform, giving engineers the power to design greater conductivity and functionality into small-footprint devices. As the first significant alternative to discrete pin or blade configurations, the MultiWise Connector provides a new dynamic to satisfy the need for increased power density in small spaces. Configurations using both pins, contacts, and blades allow greater simplicity and flexibility in designs by offering engineers more options for lowering contact resistance while maintaining the necessary power/signal mix.

OEM design engineers once restricted to packaging multiple connectors and circuitry together in an assembly can now combine the required connector features and circuitry together on one MultiWise Connector. With the introduction of blade pins, designers can now take advantage of greater conductivity available in more rugged copper and brass alloy blades. Because these materials carry more current, the MultiWise Connector frees up precious space for additional components. Moreover, the manufacturing processes can place SMT devices like decoupling capacitors, resistors, and ICs directly on the connector.

Prices begin at $3 in quantities of 1,000 or more for the configuration as shown.
