Power Connectors &
Contacts

Methode offers WovenBud and PowerBud™ contact technologies for high-current power connectors that address demanding requirements.  These contact systems outperform all others in the market, bringing customers superior electrical performance with low resistance and low voltage drop, which results in lower temperature rise.  The contact's low normal force results in lower insertion forces and higher cycle life.  Our RK Series contact system is available for less demanding applications.
