3-7. Input binding post and wire consideration
The five ways connect the input wires to the Electronic load the connection methods are
Made as follow:
3.7.1. Plug connectors: This is the most popular way to connect the input of
Electronic load to the device under test. It is recommended the load current is
Less than 20A in this connection for the current rating of the plug is rated to
20A. the maximum wire gage AWG14 can be used in this application.
3.7.2. Spade terminals: The spade terminal provides a good contact to the binding
Post, it is recommended to use anytime. The maximum wire gage 10 can be
used in this application.
3.7.3. Insert the wire into the input terminal: This is the most convenient way to
Connect the load input and D.U.T. The maximum wire gage AWG14 can be
Used in this application.
3.7.4. Both plug connectors and spade terminals:
It is recommended to use when input current is greater than 20A or long lead
Wires.
3.7.5. Both plug connectors and Insert the wire into the input terminal.
It is recommended to use when input current is greater than 20A or long lead
Wires.
A major consideration in making input connection is the wire size. The
Minimum wire size is required to prevent overheating and to maintain good
Regulation. It is recommended that the wires should be large enough to limit
The voltage drop to less than 0.5V per lead.
