DEMYSTIFYING CURRENT RATINGS
Connector current ratings seem to be shrouded in mystery at times. The user wonders how a listed current rating
is relevant to a particular application. Perhaps more mysterious is how similar connectors from various manufacturers
list different current rating values. While it is true that material choices and design can enhance a connector’s current
rating, the test method by which the rating was developed must be understood when evaluations are made.
Users of connectors for power applications are entitled to current rating test details in order to make an informed
choice. Ideally, a connector’s current rating should be developed within the application for which it is being considered.
Although ideal, this approach is not always practical given the many differing applications. In order for connector man-
ufacturers to give potential product users an idea of what can be expected, connectors are given current ratings based
on a specific test method.
A wide variety of test methods are employed in order to develop current ratings for connectors. Some of these
methods come from standards that are recognized industry-wide, while others are unique to the manufacturer or user.
These various test methods can produce different results for the same product. It is no wonder confusion sometimes
results.
There are key factors that, when understood, can help in choosing the right power connector. All test methods used
to rate current have similarities; however, there are variables in applying the test methods which explain differing
results.
Current ratings are usually established by first developing a temperature rise curve. This curve plots temperature
rise against increasing current levels. The curve is a reliable tool in understanding heat generation of the connector at
various currents. When a defined failure is reached, the test ends. The highest current level achieved is usually listed
as the current rating.
The temperature rise curve, and therefore the current rating, will change when certain key factors are varied.
These are:
Where is the temperature sensing probe placed? If placed on the contact in the mating
area (the hottest spot), the results will be quite different than if placed on the outside of the
connector body.
Are the contacts being tested and rated in free air or are they contained within the
connector housing? Contacts will obviously be cooler in free air.
Are all of the contacts in the connector under load? If only part of the contacts
are under load, the temperature rise could be less.
What is the defined failure? Does the test end when the temperature rise reaches 30°C, 40°C,
or some other number? Does it end when the temperature rise plus ambient temperature
equal the operating limit of the connector housing? The current rating will be fixed by the
defined failure point.
How were the test samples prepared? Were the samples energized through a P.C. board?
How many layers? How large were the traces? What was the weight of the copper? Were
the samples energized through wire? What size was the wire? How long was the wire? Was
the sample tested in static or forced air conditions? All of these factors can affect cooling
characteristics.
Clearly, a current rating value alone is not enough, and must be viewed in the context of the test used to develop
the rating. When the test method is understood, evaluating and comparing power connectors for specific applications
becomes much less of a mystery.

WHY IS THE L.S.A. SYSTEM SUPERIOR?
The primary function of connector contact is electrical
conductivity. Also, a mechanical function is required to
provide normal force between male and female contacts.
In order to provide for proper mechanical characteris-
tics, material that has good memory or “springiness” must
be chosen. This will ensure contact normal force in a cou-
pled condition and allow for repeated coupling and uncou-
pling.
Unfortunately, many materials that have good memory
characteristics have low electrical conductivity. For
instance, beryllium copper is a good choice for mechanical
function; however, some beryllium copper alloys are poor
conductors and have relatively low conductivity rates.
The conductivity path of many contact designs
goes directly through materials that have been cho-
sen based on mechanical need. If these materials have
a low conductivity rating, increased contact resistance will
result.
Positronic Industries Large Surface Area Contact
System separates the mechanical and electrical func-
tions. A spring retention member provides normal forces,
while the electrical conductivity path is through highly
conductive contact material. See above detail.

Reliable, solderless connections from connectors to
backplanes started with solid press-fit technology.
Although these are still used today, concerns about board
damage led to the use of compliant press-fit technology.
This technology allows the connection to be made through
compliance of the contact termination along with P.C.
board hole deformation. Although risk of damaged P.C.
boards and backplanes is lessened, damage can still
occur due to relatively high insertion and extraction forces.
The next step in press-fit technology is a highly reli-
able connection between the contact termination and
backplane that is accomplished with reduced insertion
and extraction forces. This eliminates risk of P.C. board
and backplane damage. This technology exists today
with Positronic Industries Bi-Spring Power Press-Fit ter-
mination.
POSITRONIC INDUSTRIES’ BI-SPRING POWER
PRESS-FIT TERMINATIONS
The Next Evolution In Compliant Technology. Fully Compliant, Fully Reliable.
Average insertion and extraction forces of size 16 contacts are 22N [5 lbs.] per
contact and do not produce stresses in P.C. boards and backplanes that can occur
with higher insertion forces. These stresses can cause board warpage and hole
damage.
Connector systems utilizing Bi-Spring terminations use mounting screws to secure
the connector to the P.C. board or backplane. Stresses that occur during coupling,
uncoupling or shock and vibration of systems are not transferred to the P.C. boards or
backplanes through the press-fit connection. The electrical integrity of the connector
to board interface is maintained; this is particularly important in power applications.
Bellcore GR1217 details a preference for mounting hardware when using press-fit ter-
minations.
Size 16 Bi-Spring terminations are designed to meet the performance requirements
and hole diameters as listed in the internationally recognized specification
IEC60352-5.
Lower insertion and extraction forces eliminate the need for expensive pressing equipment.

CRIMPING TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES
CONTACT INSERTION CONTACT REMOVAL
An easy-to-use contact insertion tool used for rear insertion of contacts
into connector, see illustration below.
The contact removal tool is spring-loaded to simplify the extraction of
removable contacts from the connector insulators. For contact removal,
simply insert the hollow tool tip over the male or female contact from the
front face of the insulator, rotate the tool slightly while increasing the
pushing force against the butt of the extraction tool. The contact will be
released from the insulator retention system and will “pop out” of the
rear face of the insulator.
For insertion and removal tool selection part numbers, see
Contact Application Tools Cross Reference Chart on pages 58 & 59.

APPLICATION TOOLS
When properly used, Positronic Industries' Bi-Spring Power Press-Fit terminations provide reliable service even
under severe conditions.
Connectors utilizing this leading technology press-fit contact are easy to install:
1. Choose the proper tooling. Inexpensive insertion tooling and single contact repair tooling are
available from Positronic.
2. Insert the connector into the P.C. board or backplane and seat connector fully.
3. Secure the connector to the P.C. board or backplane using two self-tapping screws. The screws
should be #2 self-tapping screws for plastic.
Need to repair asingle contact because of damage in manufacturing, testing, or field use?
1. Choose the proper contact extraction tool.
2. Push the contact out with afirm, steady force. Remember, excessive force is not required.
3. Install anew contact with the proper contact insertion tool. You are finished. Replacing a
single contact instead of an entire connector can allow considerable cost savings. This is
particularly true when considering the risk of damage to P. C . boards and backplanes that can
occur if the entire connector must be replaced.

CODE ST2, ST3, ST4, SS2, SS3, OR SS4 ON STEP 5 OF ORDERING INFORMATION PAGE
NOTE: MOUNTING SCREWS FOR RIGHT ANGLE CONNECTORS ARE ORDERED SEPARATELY
USING PART NUMBERS SHOWN IN CHART BELOW.
Stresses that occur during coupling and uncoupling of connectors or through shock and vibration of systems can
be transferred to backplanes or P.C. boards through press-fit connector terminations. Avoid concern over electrical
integrity of the connector to board interface by using mounting screws. Bellcore GR1217 details a preference for the
use of mounting hardware and we recommend this practice.
SCREWS ARE #2 SELF-TAPPING FOR PLASTIC.
