Series 970 PowerTrip™ Specifications
ABOUT THE POWERTRIP™ CONTACT SYSTEM Series 970 contacts are precision-machined using high conductivity copper alloy. A stamped and formed spring (“LouverBand”) is installed into the socket contact. The spring is made from 6 mil copper alloy. Testing has demonstrated that this contact system outperforms conventional industrial and aerospace-grade contact systems. The LouverBand spring provides many points of electrical contact with the mating pin, as opposed to a few “high spots” on a conventional four-finger contact as shown in the figure below. The size #8 Powertrip socket contact has a total of 18 louvers. The #4 has 27 louvers, and the #1/0 has 42 louvers. The LouverBand design offers lower voltage drop for reduced joule heating. In addition to its electrical advantages, the LouverBand also is mechanically superior to conventional four-finger contacts. The LouverBand spring has consistent, stable normal force, even when subjected to thousands of mating cycles and temperature extremes.
