The Cable Pass-Thru
MULTI-BEAM XL recepta-
cles securely terminate up
to a 10 AWG wire directly
into MULTI-BEAM XL PCB
mounted receptacles. The
design includes a “terminal
position assurance” (TPA)
feature that confirms the
manually inserted wires are
fully seated. The product
offers a unique way of
using the MULTI-BEAM XL
PCB receptacles as a sort
of “docking” connector.
A single docking connector
is far easier to mate to and
to design around in a blind-
mate application, than
multiple power and signal
connectors. By separating
some circuits to be cable
terminated and some to be
PCB terminated it allows
both high voltage (AC) and
low voltage (DC) power
to pass through the same
connector.
This separation of the AC
and DC power eliminates
the concerns of high volt-
age power running through
circuit boards better suited
to carry only low voltage
circuitry. Additional
applications may include
designs where the power
is better routed directly to
a different PCB, through
cables, yet passes through
a single docking connector
for ease in system design.
The Cable Pass-Thru
connector is offered in both
right-angle or vertical PCB-
mount orientations and is
supplied with either press-
fit or solder pc tails. The
connector is mate-able to
either PCB mounted or cable
mounted MULTI-BEAM XL
or MULTI-BEAM XLE plugs.
All MULTI-BEAM XL cable
connectors are supplied
pre-assembled by
Tyco Electronics.
