MULTI-BEAM Full Portfolio

Perhaps you have come across one of the products in this portfolio in the past, but today you can get to know all the MULTI-BEAM "members" and find the "best partner" for your needs!

MULTI-BEAM High Density Power Connectors

The MULTI-BEAM HD connector is a connector that supports next-generation applications. It features a more compact design with up to 135A per power terminal and space-saving high-density power and signal characteristics. This scalable, modular design also supports more flexible configurations and PCB layouts.

Main characteristics

High current density up to 390A per linear inch

Utilizes TE's innovative power terminal design for improved reliability and operability

Three-level terminal sequencing: ground terminal, power/signal terminal, PIN enable terminal

Flexible modular configuration provides multiple PCB design options

Areas of application

data center

telecommunicate

Industrial automation equipment

power system

MULTI-BEAM XLE Power Connectors

MULTI-BEAM XLE connectors utilize triple-bundle terminals, which utilize thicker (higher) conductive material than the original single- or quad-bundle rectangular power connector designs. The triple-bundle design allows for greater angular deviation between mating connectors and lower mating forces.

Additionally, the MULTI-BEAM XLE connector features a thinner housing design, which overall reduces the amount of space taken up on the PCB, and is available in a low-power terminal version, which is also recognized in the industry as a Universal Power Module (UPM) terminal.

Main characteristics

Two hot-swappable power terminals are available: 80A high power terminal and 20A low power terminal.

Plugging and unplugging forces are more than 40% lower than with the original MULTI-BEAM XL connector.

More than 40% increase in current with no overall change in PCB space

Low-wear terminal design meets Telcordia environmental exposure requirements

New design allows for greater angular deviation

Areas of application

Modular Hot Swap Power Supplies

1U / 2U Server

High-end computer and telecommunications equipment

Power Distribution Circuit Boards

Distribution cable assemblies

MULTI-BEAM PLUS Power Connectors

The MULTI-BEAM PLUS power connector meets the market demand for more power and performance. It has four adjacent power terminals that can carry up to 100A each. This higher power and higher signal density design saves space and reduces power consumption.

Main characteristics

Up to 100A per terminal (per four pins)

Higher power and higher signal density designs save space and reduce power consumption

Flexible and scalable design

MULTI-BEAM LITE Connectors

MULTI-BEAM Lite power connectors offer excellent power density with a wide range of current options.The small size and low profile of the MULTI-BEAM Lite for 1U power supplies or distribution systems provides next generation environmental requirements and design flexibility.

Main characteristics

Smaller form factor allows better airflow to other components on the PCB while saving valuable PCB space

Curved connectors, curved sockets and straight sockets provide common surface and backplane applications for design flexibility

Up to 75A per terminal in high power applications and up to 45A per terminal in low power applications; signal terminals provide excellent power density and voltage and signal requirements to meet critical power specifications and a wide range of applications

Flexible and scalable design saves on tooling costs

Areas of application

server (computer)

rackmount
