Derate connector voltage to 25% of rated operating voltage
.... Operating voltage = Connector rating / 0.25
Derate connector operational temperature by 50oC
.... Connector rating = operating temperature + 50oC
Current is normally specified as some number of pins carrying some
specific amount of current, at some defined temperature. Increase the
current carried over any particular pin and the number of pins carrying
current most decrease. Decreasing the amount of current over the defined
pins may allow more pins to carry current. Refer to this page for a
manufacturers listing for Connectors
