PowerStrip™ CC10 Series, Blade Type Power Connector Contacts

The contacts of blade type power connectors are precision-machined or stamped from materials such as brass, copper, copper alloy, or phosphor bronze to create highly reliable male, female, and non-gendered crimp or solder terminations. These contacts are designed to ensure robust electrical connections in various applications. To enhance durability and reduce wear, the contacts may be coated with finishes such as gold, silver, or tin, depending on the frequency with which the contacts are separated. These contact finishes contribute to minimizing wear and maintaining reliable electrical conductivity over time. Blade contacts for these connectors are available to accommodate wire sizes ranging from 1 through 24 AWG, offering compatibility with a wide range of wire gauges commonly used in electrical and electronic systems. By offering a choice of contact materials, terminations, and finishes, blade type power connectors provide versatility and reliability, making them suitable for diverse applications with varying electrical requirements.
