556879-8

Designed for next-generation power systems, the 556879-8 by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors sets new standards in Blade Type Power Connectors - Housings performance. This connector combines military-grade reliability with cutting-edge materials science to deliver uncompromising power transmission capabilities. Its innovative architecture supports both current and future power delivery requirements.The Plug interface provides foolproof mating in low-visibility conditions. The hermaphroditic design reduces inventory complexity by 50% compared to gendered alternatives.Non-Gendered contacts employ beryllium copper alloys for exceptional spring properties. The multi-finger contact design distributes current flow evenly across multiple contact points.Configurable in 8 positions, this connector adapts to evolving system architectures. The position count can be customized without tooling changes for prototype development.With 0.440" (11.18mm) pitch configuration, this connector supports high-voltage differential signaling. The optimized spacing minimizes mutual inductance between adjacent circuits.The 1 row matrix configuration supports parallel power paths for redundancy. This arrangement maintains circuit integrity even if individual contacts degrade.Free Hanging (In-Line) versions include integrated EMI shielding for sensitive applications. The panel-mount variant features conductive gaskets for chassis grounding.Employing Crimp technology, this connector achieves gas-tight connections resistant to thermal cycling. The mechanical crimp produces metallurgical bonding without heat-affected zones.The Black housing incorporates flame-retardant additives meeting UL94 V-0 standards. Color-coded versions support quick visual verification during quality inspections.The Side to Side stacking orientation enables compact power distribution in rack-mounted systems. The interlocking design prevents misalignment during vibration.
