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 manufactur-
ers 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 consid-
ered. Although ideal, this approach is not always practical given the many differing applications. In order for con-
nector manufacturers 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 differ-
ing 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:
l 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.
l 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.
l 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.
l 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 tempera-
ture equal the operating limit of the connector housing? The current rating will be fixed by
the defined failure point.
l How were the test samples prepared? Were the samples energized through a printed circuit
board? How many layers? How large were the traces? What was the weight of the cop-
per? 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 applica-
tions 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 character-
istics, material that has good memory or “springiness”
must be chosen. This will ensure contact normal force in
a coupled condition and allow for repeated coupling and
uncoupling.
Unfortunately, many materials that have good mem-
ory characteristics have low electrical conductivity. For
instance, beryllium copper is a good choice for mechani-
cal 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
functions. A spring retention member provides normal
forces, while the electrical conductivity path is through
highly conductive contact material. See above detail.
THE PCS SERIES utilizes Positronic Industries’
LARGE SURFACE AREA CONTACT MATING SYSTEM
l Separates mechanical and electrical functions for superior performance
l Low contact resistance provides minimized voltage drop across the contact
l “Closed Entry” design prevents damage to female contacts and will not allow
misaligned or bent contacts to enter
l Precision machined from solid, high conductivity copper alloy
l Uniform insertion/withdrawal forces through repeated mating cycles

Reliable, solderless connections from connectors
to backplanes started with solid press-in technology.
Although these are still used today, concerns about
board damage led to the use of compliant press-in
technology. This technology allows the connection to
be made through compliance of the contact termination
along with printed circuit board hole deformation.
Although risk of damaged printed circuit boards and
backplanes is lessened, damage can still occur due to
relatively high insertion and extraction forces.
The next step in press-in technology is a highly
reliable connection between the contact termination and
backplane that is accomplished with reduced insertion
and extraction forces. This eliminates risk of printed
circuit. board and backplane damage. This technology
exists today with Positronic Industries Bi-Spring Power
Press-in termination.
POSITRONIC INDUSTRIES’ BI-SPRING POWER
PRESS-IN TERMINATIONS
The Next Evolution In Compliant Technology. Fully Compliant, Fully Reliable.
l Average insertion and extraction forces of size 16 contacts are 22N [5 lbs.] per
contact and do not produce stresses in printed circuit boards and backplanes that
can occur with higher insertion forces. These stresses can cause board warpage
and hole damage.
l Connector systems utilizing Bi-Spring terminations use mounting screws to secure
the connector to the printed circuit board or backplane. Stresses that occur during
coupling, uncoupling or shock and vibration of systems are not transferred to the
printed circuit boards or backplanes through the press-in 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-in terminations.
l Size 16 Bi-Spring terminations are designed to meet the performance requirements
and hole diameters as listed in the internationally recognized specification
IEC 60352-5.
l Lower insertion and extraction forces eliminate the need for expensive pressing equipment.

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-in 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.
