C-485-XX-XX-S05B

Overview

The C-485-XX-XX-S05B is a component within the Samtec mPOWER® system, specifically categorized as a 2mm (.0787 Inch) Pitch High Power Blade Compact Wire to Board Receptacle Socket / Female Connector. This series supports vertical mounting via Surface Mount (SMT) or Through Hole termination methods and is rated for up to 18 Amps per contact. The design accommodates 2 to 10 power blades on a micro 2.00 mm pitch, offering various stack heights ranging from 5 mm to 20 mm.

Feature Summary

• Delivers high current capacity of up to 18 Amps per power blade in a compact form factor.
• Offers design flexibility with multiple stack heights and orientation options including right-angle configurations.
• Supports versatile board-to-board, cable-to-board, and cable-to-cable interconnect solutions.

Applications

• High power applications requiring small form factor interconnects
• Board-to-board connections in dense electronic assemblies
• Cable-to-board and cable-to-cable wiring solutions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific configuration suffixes against official Samtec documentation to ensure correct pin count, tail type, and stack height. Confirm Severe Environment Testing (SET) qualification requirements if applicable to your deployment environment. Cross-reference the configured part number with the latest catalog prints before finalizing design-in decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this connector when space constraints necessitate a 2.00 mm pitch while maintaining high current carrying capabilities. Evaluate the required stack height and termination style (SMT vs. Through Hole) during the initial design phase. Consider the availability of optional weld tabs and mating components from the same mPOWER family for streamlined assembly.

Part Context

This receptacle belongs to the broader mPOWER® product family, which integrates high-power contacts into micro-pitch connectors. The system allows for mixed signal and power configurations within a single housing, supporting both standard and automotive A-Series variants for diverse industrial and consumer electronics needs.
