Abstract: A multifunction connector is provided. A housing of the connector has a base portion, a pair of walls extending from the base portion in a longitudinal direction and separated by a gap, and a pair of wings extending from the base portion on opposite sides of the pair of walls and in a transverse direction. A pair of power conductors each is held by one of the walls and has contact portions curving into the gap. A pair of sense conductors each is held by one of the walls and has a contact portion curving into the gap and being offset from the contact portions of a respective power conductor along the longitudinal direction. A position identification subassembly is held by a first wall of the pair and separate from the gap by the first wall. A ground conductor is held by a second wall of the pair and separate from the gap by the second wall. Such a configuration enables the connector to carry high current, identify insertion position on a busbar, sense the degree of insertion, and/or provide grounding.

Abstract: System and method to use position information about a power supply unit (PSU) within a system for status reporting or control. The system may have multiple slots into which the PSU may be installed, and each of multiple PSUs installed may sense position information, such as an indication of the slot into which it is installed. A controller may receive the position information in connection with status information such that faults or other events associated with a PSU may be reported to a system operator in connection with a position of the affected PSU. The controller may determine adjustments to operating parameters of the PSUs that are impacted by position and may direct commends to the appropriate PSU based on the position information.
