5.4 TERMINAL CURRENT DERATING CURVES
This test is used to determine the maximum test current at which a terminal system can
operate in a room temperature environment before excessive thermal degradation and/or
resistance begins to occur. Temperature Rise (Y axis) vs. Current (X axis) shall be plotted for
each applicable conductor size.
CAUTION: These graphs are NOT to be used for actual terminal application in a vehicle. This test is conducted on terminals
alone, thus eliminating the variation that may be introduced by variations in the heat dissipating characteristics of differing
connector housing designs and sizes. This test cannot establish the Maximum Current Capability of a specific terminal
application. For specific applications, several factors other than current load must be considered (see SAE/USCAR-2 appendix F
for more information).
