Methode Power Solutions Group introduces its new RK Series Power
Contact System for applications requiring high current DC
connections and minimal voltage drop. The new, competitively priced
RK contact system is ideal for use with bulk power connections
found in many products on the market today.
The RK Series socket contact is made of gold plated,
heat-treated Beryllium copper. Mating pins are customized to the
application. The new system is designed to maximize contact surface
area which results in minimizing voltage drop and heat build-up. A
wide variety of mounting options allow customers design flexibility
in connecting bus bar-to-bus bar, wire-to-bus bar, wire-to-wire, or
wire-to-printed circuit board. The RK Series is designed to be
compatible with leading industry standard connectors.
The RK Series is available in crimp, bus bar, and PCB mount
options and is easily customized to meet application specific
requirements. Standard tooled pin sizes are 5.7 mm (125A) and 9.1
mm (200A). Methode’s in-house design engineers, CNC machining
capability, test lab, and injection molding expertise allow for
quick response to customer connector requirements.
Methode Power Solutions Group, Cableco brand General Manager,
Chip Bronk, states, “The RK connector system compliments our
TribotekTM WovenBud contact system that serves very high
performance markets. With the planned introduction of our new
PowerBud™ power contact next month, Methode will offer a full
3-tier approach to meet all of our customers power connection
needs. The new RK Series Contact System meets customer needs for a
cost-effective, high power density contact system where minimized
voltage drop is essential to the application.”
Methode Power Solutions Group also includes TribotekTM high
power connectors, laminated and machined bus bars, PowerRailTM bus
bar and cable interconnect systems, and thermal management
products. Engineering design centers are located in San Jose, CA
and Rolling Meadows, IL.
