Derating Diagramme
The current carrying capacity is limited by maximum temperature of materials for insert and contacts including terminals. The current capacitycurve is valid for continuous, not interrupted current-loaded contacts of connectors when simultaneous power on all contacts is given, without
exceeding the maximum temperature.
Control and test procedures according to DIN IEC 60512-3.
