What are the considerations for power interconnect design for high current connectors?

Unlike signal connectors, which continue to get smaller at higher transmission speeds, high current connectors require a specific amount of conductive material to carry a specific amount of current or amperage, as there is no special design recipe to allow smaller power contacts to carry more current. As connector power requirements increase, the amount of space required for higher current carrying interconnections also increases.1. Space Issues: First, it is necessary to determine how much space is required for the power interconnections of a high current connector as well as how much of the available space has been allotted in the finished design.While saving space is a priority for most OEMs, the height, width and length of the connector, especially its copper content, will have a direct impact on the achievable Achieving current density requires and more power in the same space, which is a challenge for connector manufacturers.2. Power Integrity: Connector manufacturers are constantly pioneering new designs that require the use of higher conductivity materials and more creative use of space in order to improve power transfer and electrical performance without expanding space requirements.3. Thermal Management: High-current connectors have a significant impact on thermal management due to contact forces, shrinkage resistance, and inefficient airflow. and inefficient airflow caused by thermal problems is always an issue and should be carefully considered early in the design process. PCB copper content is one of the elements, too little copper will restrict current flow, resulting in shrinkage resistance. Proper copper alignment sizing reduces body resistance, which lowers temperatures and reduces losses that might otherwise be emitted to the connector interface, reducing reliability issues.4. Operational safety: Considering the operational safety of high-current connectors, designers need to consider the entire device system and its power architecture to understand the potential for shrinkage areas and voltage drops that can affect thermal and electrical performance from start to finish. Potential. Because greater voltage drop defines the thermal stability threshold of a power contact, once this threshold is exceeded, the potential for thermal instability increases significantly.5. Electrical Performance Testing: Connector manufacturers have traditionally determined current ratings based on testing the electrical performance of their products under ideal conditions, taking into account the conditions and interactions that will affect the actual operating environment of the connector to ensure that the power integrity of the high current connector interconnect design meets the requirements of the application. The power integrity of the design meets the requirements of the application.-6, on the Evergrande electronic products network platform related to the introduction and sales of products briefly: Evergrande electronic products network - a professional agent / production / sales of all kinds of {connectors | wiring harness | wire and cable products }; if you have a related [connectors | wiring harness | wire and cable products] procurement / purchasing needs or would like to buy / to understand which connectors | harness | wire and cable products we can provide solutions, please contact the following Division I business personnel; If you have related [connectors | wire harness | wire and cable products] sales / resources and promotion needs, please click on the "¡¡ Business Cooperation ←" with the person to discuss!
