Adam Tech product marketing manager, Chris Brana, explains how connector innovation supports power and data in PCB and energy storage applications
Electronic systems continue to evolve toward higher power densities and faster signal transmission speeds. Integrated board-to-board interconnect solutions are essential for ensuring stable power delivery and reliable data communication.
Adam Tech’s ESMC Series is designed to deliver dependable, high-performance board-to-board connectivity in compact pitch designs, including 2.54 mm power and 1.27 mm signal configurations, engineered to meet a wide range of PCB requirements.
The ESMC Power Series is available in two to 12 positions, with each precision-formed contact supporting up to 24 A for stable, high-current transmission, while the 1.27 mm ESMC Signal Series offers versatile stacking and coplanar solutions in two to 80 positions. The ESMC Signal Series also includes cable assembly options and press-fit connector solutions, providing expanded interconnect flexibility and secure, solderless termination capabilities for demanding applications.
Together, these products support parallel, perpendicular and side-by-side board arrangements, with vertical and right-angle orientations, plus low, mid and high profile options. The ESMC family ensures excellent conductivity, mechanical strength and long-term reliability. SMT or SMT-DIP mounting options, plug and socket configurations, pick-and-place caps and tape-and-reel packaging simplify layout, integration and automated assembly, making the ESMC series ideal for consumer electronics, industrial equipment, medical devices and other demanding applications.
Together these products combine high-current power capability, reliable signal interconnect design and flexible mechanical configurations across various power, industrial and other applications, enabling efficient and reliable system-level connectivity in compact electronic designs.
In today’s world, the way energy is generated, stored and consumed is rapidly evolving. At the same time, demand for renewable energy continues to grow, while electrification and electric mobility are accelerating. As a result, energy storage systems have become critical to achieving a sustainable energy future.
Adam Tech’s ESF and ESM Series Energy Storage Connectors meet the evolving needs of the power and battery industry, providing a critical link between battery modules. This link ensures safe and reliable connections in energy storage systems, such as electric vehicle charging, renewable energy devices, data centers and both industrial and consumer energy storage.
The series comprises various mated pairs, offered in orange and black. With current ratings from 90 to 350 A and voltage ranges between 1000 and 1500 VDC, they provide flexibility for systems requiring both high power capacity and long-term reliability. Additional wire gauges and termination options are available as well as IP67 waterproof when mated, making this series compatible with a wide range of applications. The company continues to expand its energy storage connectors series with the addition of new straight (vertical) male connectors, while higher-amperage versions are currently under development.
