3-4 Input terminal and wire consideration
The Load input terminals are rated at 63A. Please note that the banana plug and spade/hook
connectors provided in the accessory pack have a current rating of 20A. Please be sure to use
the correct connection method if sinking high currents. There are five ways to connect the Device
under Test (DUT) to the Electronic Load as detailed below.
3.4.1 Plug connectors: This is the most popular way to connect the input of electronic
load to the device under test. It is recommended that the load current is less than
20A to keep within the current rating of the plug. A maximum wire gauge of
AWG14 can be used in this application.
3.4.2 Spade/Hook terminals: The spade terminals provide a good contact to the binding
posts. The spade terminals provided in the accessory pack are rated at 20A. The
maximum wire gauge of AWG10 can be used for this connection method.
3.4.3 Insert the wire into the input terminal: Unscrewing the binding post will reveal a
hole. The wire from the output of the DUT can be pushed into this hole and the
binding post tightened to clamp the wire. The Maximum wire gauge is AWG14.
3.4.4 Both plug connectors and spade terminals:
It is recommended to use this method when input current is greater than 20A or if
long load wires are used between the DUT and the load module.
3.4.5 Both plug connectors and Insert the wire into the input terminal.
It is recommended to use this method when the input current is greater than 20A or
long wires are needed to connect the DUT to the load module.
