CUSTOMER SPECIFIED
ARRANGEMENTS
The design of Power Connection Systems Series connectors allows for the development of application specific
contact arrangements in a timely manner and at a reasonable price. Thirteen connector housing sizes exist that may
accommodate size 20, size 16, size 12, or size 8 contacts (see the Power Connection Systems catalog for connector
housing dimensions). After reviewing the dimensions and the following basic information, contact Technical Sales with
your current, voltage, and safety requirements. We look forward to working with you to develop a connector for your
specific needs.
Contact sizes and termination types may be
mixed within a single connector.
Four Contact Sizes to Choose From Many Termination Types Can Be Supplied
Straight Solder or Press-Fit
Right Angle (90°) Solder
Crimp Removable
Removable Solder Cup

TEST DETAIL: Each curve was developed using individual connector bodies fully loaded with contacts. All power
contacts energized through 12 awg wire. Temperature rise was measured in the contact mating area. Test was
conducted with connectors in static air. Terminations of test connectors were straight compliant press-fit to right angle

Connectors Designed To Customer Specifications
Positronic connectors can be modified to customers specifications.
Examples: select loading of contacts for cost savings or to gain creepage and
clearance distances; longer PCB terminations; customer specified hardware.
Positronic can develop and tool new connector designs
with reasonable price and delivery.
Contact Technical Sales with your particular requirements.
