CURRENT RATING (MAXIMUM AMPERES)
Note: Ratings shown represent MAXIMUM current carrying capacity of a fully loaded connector
with all circuits powered using UL1199 stranded wire. Ratings are based on a 30°C maximum
temperature rise limit over ambient (see section 6.1.4 for specifications). Current is dependent on
connector size, ambient temperature, printed circuit board characteristics and related factors.
Actual current rating is application dependent and should be evaluated for each use.
Note: PCB trace design can greatly affect temperature rise results in Wire-to-Board applications.
