Molex EXTreme Guardian Power Connector System

Molex EXTreme Guardian Power Connector System, previously named EXTreme Power Interconnect (EPIC), features small package sizes with a centerline pitch of 11mm. The system supports up to 8A per contact, providing good shielding characteristics in EMI-sensitive environments, and features hot-plugging capabilities and UL safety features. Headers are available in two-circuit, single-flanged, and three-circuit, dual-flanged versions. Cable assemblies are available in three-circuit, straight, shielded, and unshielded versions for high-voltage applications and are UL touch-safe.

The Molex EXTreme Guardian two-circuit cabled solutions include a straight, unshielded cable assembly, a right-angled, right-entry, and left-entry unshielded version, and a left-entry shielded variant ideal for space-saving connections. The EXTreme Guardian Power Connector System also includes EXTreme Guardian II TPA and non-molded options. Applications include data communication equipment, telecom, power supplies, electric vehicles, and solar, medical, and commercial markets.
