As a leading manufacturer of connectors and interconnect systems, FCI has created specialized power distribution connectors for medical devices like automated drug dispensers. The PwrBlade series connector is known for its durability, ability to handle high-speed data signals, and efficient power delivery. These features make it ideal for advanced drug inventory management, patient care, and medical record tracking. By integrating the PwrBlade connector into critical parts of automated dispensing systems, human errors in medication delivery can be significantly reduced.

The modular design of the PwrBlade series makes it easy to upgrade and adapt to various medical equipment. The powerful contact system is built to withstand high insertion forces during installation and removal. Additionally, the injection-molded guide post ensures proper alignment and calibration during blind assembly, preventing damage to both contacts and the overall connector assembly.

The PwrBlade family of connectors simplifies medical device design by combining current and signal requirements into one compact solution, reducing the number of connectors needed. This makes it an excellent choice for manufacturers who need vertical or coplanar mating options within a single design. The versatility of the PwrBlade series allows for multiple configurations, including solder or crimp terminations, with up to 20 power contacts and 0 to 148 signal contacts, offering three levels of power and signal sequences.

"The PwrBlade technology was originally developed to support Server System Infrastructure (SSI) standards for distributed power (DPS), medium power (MPS), and high-end power (HPS). Its adaptation to medical applications shows how versatile this product line truly is," said Alpha Kwong, FCI's Senior Regional Business Development Manager. "By integrating PwrBlade into advanced automated drug dispensers, we're bridging the gap between medical and IT technologies, delivering a reliable, accurate, and automated solution that updates medical records in real time—enhancing patient safety and operational efficiency."

With its robust design, flexibility, and seamless integration capabilities, the PwrBlade series continues to set new standards in the medical electronics industry. Whether used in hospital settings, clinics, or research facilities, these connectors are helping shape the future of smart, safe, and efficient healthcare solutions.
