Default 35 sqmm into a pcb?

I'm looking for a real heavy connector for pcb, like 35 square miillimeters AWG2 or AWG1 . Any idea where to look?

SMD or through-hole?



P-A I remember your last incarnation of a connector only too well, are you having little problems with small parts?

Have fun, Hannes

With currents THAT large I wonder if the pcb is the limiting factor.

So p2p with AWG1?

Nah, that sounds like some serious fun!

I have driven 475 A through a pcb I worked with a project which delivered 55 kA! 475 A per pcb.

No joke I'm not kidding. Input fuse for 3 x 400 VAC was 500 amps!

Sorry, I forgot the link where you can get 'em if interested

http://www.idealindustries.com/produ...mination/lugs/

I'm using them regularly to hook up 1/0, 2/0 and 250kcmil.

Many companies manufacture them. In fact, most electrician or electric component distributor have them on hand.

Well... that's it
