I am wiring up 4 banks of batteries with dip40 pin & zif. Considering 4 battery banks: Min 360V, Max 400V _A_ _B_ _C_ _D_ 370 380 390 400 400 390 380 370 connected with X ohm at Y duty 1. what Z AWG do i need? X Y Z 1 10 5 25 10 50 ohm % AWG 2. What is the equiv. W AWG for pin headers and 3M zif sockets Z should be < W Y can be lower

Or put to them when you are charging them? Pin headers and zero-insertion force connectors are specified in terms of the current they can carry. Wire gauge comes with a current rating as well. Too much current and they all get too warm. They do have a certain amount of thermal inertia (heat capacity) but not that much. Connectors are designed so that they are under stress when mated, and if they get too warm, the spring constant goes down and they don't mate as tightly, increasing the contact resistance, and the heat dissipated in the connector. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

This is all that matters to the connectors, which do have current ratings, and a recommended range of wire gauges (which can handle that sort of current). -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

Around 1A perhaps. Might have to increase R (and power lost) or more units: A to F.

If it is isn't labelled amps, it isn't safe to jump to conclusions. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney
