Current Ratings
The chart below demonstrates the performance of the
CROWN EDGE power contact by showing the temperature
rise at different current levels applied to two power con-
tacts connected in series.
Current rating for any given application will depend,
among other things, on the module combination, PCB
copper trace volume, and internal equipment tempera-
ture/air flow. Mounting and mating to a bus bar will
increase current ratings.
Safety Regulatory Compliance
CROWN EDGE connectors have been evaluated by
Underwriters Laboratories and have been found to comply
with the requirements of U.S. standard UL1997 and
Canadian standard C22.2 No. 182.3-M1987.
Compliance with Current Interruption Requirements
Hot-plug CROWN EDGE modules are available for appli-
cations that require current interruption as defined by
safety regulatory agencies. These power-only modules
have been evaluated and recognized by Underwriters
Laboratories for current interruption up to 50 cycles as
per the UL1977 standard. See hot-plug requirements on
page 180.
