Power Shelf Docking Connector 100A Overview
The Power Shelf Docking Connector 100A is a heavy-duty hybrid power backplane receptacle specifically engineered for telecom rectifier modules and server power distribution systems. In order to meet modern density demands, this high-current connector supports 48V telecom rectifiers while simultaneously providing a seamless AC input, DC output, and signal interface within one integrated housing.
Key Features
High-Current Hybrid Architecture: Features a multi-zone layout delivering up to 2x100A for DC power and 3x30A for AC power. Consequently, it optimizes spatial efficiency while maximizing overall power density.
Premium Material & Durability: Molded from high-grade LCP + 30% Glass Fiber (UL94V-0) for maximum flame retardancy. In addition, the contacts are crafted from premium Copper Alloy with Gold (Au) or Tin (Sn) plating over Nickel so that contact resistance and long-term wear are drastically minimized.
Integrated Heavy-Duty Wiring: Equipped with high-spec UL1017 20AWG wire harnesses (Red, Black, and Green/Yellow Ground). Furthermore, these are pre-terminated with OT1-4WF3 ring terminals to ensure a highly secure chassis grounding.
Reliable Mechanical Design: Built-in M4 screw and nut specifications (3X) ensure tight mechanical locking. As a result, it delivers optimal structural integrity directly on the PCB layout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the hybrid architecture of this 100A docking connector balance power and signal distribution? A: This heavy-duty power backplane connector features an integrated, multi-zone layout that seamlessly combines AC input, DC output, and a signal interface within a single LCP housing. Specifically, it is engineered to support a high-power density configuration, delivering up to 2x100A for DC power and 3x30A for AC power. Therefore, it drastically optimizes space on server backplanes without sacrificing performance.
Q: What materials are used to ensure electrical reliability and thermal stability under continuous 100A loads? A: The connector is molded from premium high-grade LCP + 30% Glass Fiber. Thus, it offers superior flame retardancy and high heat deflection temperatures up to 105°C. Moreover, the power contacts are crafted from a high-conductivity premium Copper Alloy with Gold or Tin plating over Nickel. By doing so, the mechanical design remains stable, maintaining excellent electrical conductivity even during peak high-current distribution.
Q: Does this heavy-duty connector include pre-integrated grounding and wiring? A: Yes, absolutely. To enhance safety and simplify installation, it comes equipped with factory-integrated, high-spec UL1017 20AWG wire harnesses. In addition to being color-coded (Red, Black, and Green/Yellow), these heavy-duty wires are pre-terminated with premium OT1-4WF3 tinned copper ring terminals. Consequently, they provide an exceptionally secure electrical and mechanical ground connection to the chassis.
Q: Is it possible to customize the wire length, wire harness gauge, or hardware locking specifications? A: Yes, we provide full ODM/OEM customization for global B2B clients. While the standard layout features built-in M4 screw and nut specifications, we can easily customize the wiring harness lengths, specific wire gauges, or terminal types. Accordingly, the final product will perfectly fit your specific data center AI power shelf configurations.
