FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Exceed high-current and reliability demands in top-end server and high-power

applications with Molex’s compact, EXTreme Guardian™ header and cable

system assembly

EXTreme Guardian™ header and cable assemblies, previously named EXTreme

Power™ Interconnect (EPIC), features small package sizes with a centerline

pitch of 11.00mm. The system supports up to 80.0A per contact, provides good

shielding characteristics in EMI-sensitive environments, features hot-plugging

capabilities and UL safety features.

Headers are available in 2-circuit, single-flanged and 3-circuit, dual-flanged

versions. Cable assemblies are available in 3-circuit, straight, shielded and

unshielded versions for high-voltage applications and are UL touch-safe.

Additionally, the 2-circuit cabled solutions include a straight, unshielded cable

assembly; a right-angled, right-entry and left-entry unshielded version, as well as

a left-entry shielded variant for space-saving connections to servers installed in

confined spaces.

• High-current density per inch

supports up to 80.0A per blade

(180.0A per inch)

• Redundant contact design handles

up to 600V and supports AC or DC

high-voltage applications with the

lowest feasible voltage drop and

I2R (irreversible dissipative power)

losses

• Small centerline spacing of

11.00mm reduces PCB footprint

compared to legacy power products

• Recessed terminals, First-Mate-

Last-Break (FMLB) allow hot-

swapping of power units and reduce

network downtime

• Gold or tin contact plating

provides flexibility to suit customer

applications; gold plating provides

low interface resistance

• UL and CSA certifications meet

all accredited agency safety

requirement and approvals

PCB Headers

• Locating pegs enable accurate

through-hole positioning of

connector on PCB

• Through-hole solder retention design

provides flexible manufacturing

options

• Insert-molded threaded nut provides

secure panel attachment

Cable Assemblies

• Crimp terminal accepts 10, 8 and

12/12 or 6 AWG wires; supports

heavier gauge wire with no terminal

back-out issues

• EMI shielding options (for shielded

versions) minimize cross-talk and

improve immunity to external noise

• Terminal Position Assurance (TPA)

option available secures cable from

accidental cable disconnection

• Mounting jackscrews improve cable

retention after mating to PCB

header

• Standard overmold provides strain

relief and wire management in

rugged environments
