ampere/temperature curves

Ampere/Temperature curves help to evaluate and rate SY connectors in terms of applied load versus temperature rise. The graph shows some typical curves resulting from loading popular cable sizes into various connector housings**, curves for cables between the smallest and largest can be easily estimated. Thus with consideration of both ampere and temperature characteristics, connectors can be selected according to load and temperature limits or requirements of particular installations.
