CURRENT CARRYING CAPACITY

 

ABOUT

 
 
A process to establish the current carrying capacity of the connector. This is achieved by determining the temperature rise resulting at the contact interface at the specified current level. The temperature rise  at a given current level plus the ambient operating temperature should not excced the temperature rating of the test sample. Thus the current rating of the  system decreases as the operating ambient increases. this data can also be unsed to determine potential local "hot spots" internal to the test sample, possible degradation factors, thermal effects on adjacent areas and/or the acceptability for use of pulsing techniques.
