Contact Current Carrying Capability
The total current capacity of each contact in a connector is dependent upon the heat rise resulting from the combination
of electrical loads on all the contacts in the connector arrangement and the maximum ambient temperature in which the
connector will be operating. Caution must be taken to assure that these combinations of conditions do not cause the inter-
nal temperature of the connector to exceed the maximum operating temperature of the housing material. There are several
variables which must be considered when determining this maximum current carrying capability for your application.
These variables are:
a. Wire Size—Larger wire will carry more current since it has less resistance to current flow; therefore, it generates less
b. Connector Size—In general, the more circuits in a connector, the less current per contact can be carried.
c. Ambient Temperature—The higher the ambient temperature, the less current can be carried.
