Amphenol FCI (ACS) BarKlip Connectors and Cable Assemblies

Amphenol FCi BarKlip Series Connectors and Cable Assemblies are high-current interconnect solutions designed to support OCP V3 and ORv3 power distribution architectures in modern data centers. These assemblies are engineered for efficient 48V power delivery and provide secure connections between busbars, cables, and PCBs while minimizing power loss. The OCP 48V BarKlip BK220 I/O carries up to 220A per contact, the BK350 I/O up to 360A, and the BK600 I/O up to 700A. Typical applications include AI/ML servers, storage systems, and power shelves.
