PowerWize Blind-Mate Interface (BMI)

Molex's PowerWize BMI high-current panel-to-board/busbar interconnects are available with crimp contacts using 3.40 mm (75.0 A), 6.00 mm (110.0 A), and 8.00 mm (175.0 A) COEUR sockets transmitting high current through right-angle headers that can be attached to printed circuit boards or busbars. The blind-mating guideposts enable the inner wall of the header's shrouds to align the connectors during mating, facilitating trouble-free mating in drawer-style applications where the connectors are obscured. The self-aligning panel-mount receptacle flanges accept either force-fit standoffs paired with bolts (used when the assembler only has access to one side of the panel) or shoulder screws paired with nuts (often used when the assembler has access to both sides of the panel), allowing the panel mount receptacle ±2.00 mm of radial float to mitigate tolerance stack-up issues.
