Ratings shown represent MAXIMUM current carrying capacity of a fully loaded connector with
all circuits powered. Ratings are based on a 30°C maximum temperature rise limit over ambient
(room temperature). Above charts are intended as a guideline. Current rating is application dependent.
Appropriate de-rating is required depending on factors such as circuit size, ambient temperature,
smaller copper weight of PCB traces, gross heating from adjacent modules or components and other
factors that influence connector performance. Wire size and stranding, tin coated or bare copper, wire
length and crimp quality are other factors that influence current rating. Current ratings apply to Brass
5556 crimp terminals only
.

Notes:
1. The 87427 products covered in this specification are molded from a hydroscopic
thermoplastic resin. In high-humidity environments, parts will absorb moisture, possibly
causing outgassing and blistering when exposed to temperatures higher than specified
above. High reflow temperatures (typical for lead-free soldering) may be used if special
precautions to remove moisture are taken. Parts exposed to high humidity conditions
should be dried or “baked” before the soldering process.
Guidelines for drying are:
o
3-5 hours at 120 ° - 125°C
o
Note that the customer should determine the optimum drying parameters based on
their own conditions and experience.
