Fig.1 Number Contacts
The pole number (number contacts) important consideration when
selecting connector for certain application. Also, certain arrangements have
become common.2 Current
The rated current (current-carrying capacity) another selection criterion.1. Usually, you must take into
account that only useful contacts are counted.1: Han® 108 Fig. The assumed conductor cross-sections
can found the derating diagram (power loss curve).
The manufacturer’s specification relates the current, which all connector
contacts can carry simultaneously
