Derating of connectors - this is the containment of unacceptable heating by the correct use of connectors. Würth Elektronik answers the following questions:
Which connectors are suitable for which application?
How can I optimize a connector and reduce contact resistances?
How many pins can be operated under full load?
What does a derating curve look like and where can I get it?
What influence do the different components of the connector have?
Also take a look at our application manual for optimized connector selection, the "Trilogy of Connectors".
