7.1 Connecting the Power Terminals with Ideal Strain Relief
To connect the power terminals with the best possible strain relief, a recommended
assembly schematic is shown in Figure 11, in which a bus bar is connected to the power
terminals in such a way that only a low force is applied to them, even during shock or
vibration conditions. The power terminals can withstand the force F best in the direction from
the terminal to the base plate. Force to other directions has to be avoided. This has also to
be considered in the tolerance of the bus bar.
