Derating Measurement Procedure: The document outlines the procedure for measuring the derating of connectors according to IEC 60512-5-2:2002. It involves measuring the temperature rise due to current heat across different connectors to create a parabolic basic curve. This curve is used to derive the corrected current-carrying capacity curve, known as the derating curve. A safety factor of 0.8 is applied to account for manufacturing tolerances and measurement uncertainties.
Derating Factors: For multi-position connectors and cables, heating is greater than with individual contacts, necessitating the use of a derating factor. The document provides a table of derating factors based on the number of loaded wires, with factors ranging from 0.75 for 5 wires to 0.30 for 61 wires.
Current Load: The rated current is the current that can flow continuously through all contacts, increasing the contact temperature by 45 Kelvin. The maximum continuous current is the current at room temperature that raises the contact temperature to the limit temperature. An example calculation is provided for a cable with 24 wires, using a derating factor of 0.4.
