1
Based on: 105°C rated or better cable of the largest size, Properly calibrated APP
®
recommended tooling, and a 25°C ambient temperature. UL rating not to exceed the
maximum operating temperature. CSA rating below a 30°C temperature rise.
2
Limited by the thermal properties of the connector plastic housing.
3
Use APP
®
recommended tooling only. Alternate tools may adversely affect the
performance of our connectors along with UL and CSA recognition.
