MicroTCA Connectors
Section 2
MicroTCA Connectors
The MTCA.0 specification defines Combination
D-SUB connectors type 7W2 and 9W4 as interfaces
for the external power input to the power modules
with direct voltage. These are populated with two
power contacts, each with a current carrying
capacity of 24 A per power pin for the 7W2 version
(for use in power modules with -48/-60 V) and 49 A
for the 9W4 version (module with +24 V) and two
signal contacts.
The MicroTCA system was developed beside the
AdvancedTCA system to meet compact and cost
effective requirements. This standard was also
developed by the PICMG® group.
Conec offers now the full range of interface
connectors defined in the MicroTCA specification.
Conec offers also special hoods in straight and
angled version. These hoods are especially slim
designed to fit into the MicroTCA connector
footprint requirements.
MicroTCA systems are modular constructed.
The standard system configuration can consist of
up to two Power Modules (PM’s), two MicroTCA
carrier hubs (MCH’s) and up to 12 Advanced
Mezzanine Cards (AMC’s).
