High current pcb-mount barrel jacks deliver thermal design

GLOBTEK JACK-L-PC-10A-RA(R) and JACK-C-PC-10A-RA(R) pcb-mount jacks carry a 10A continuous current rating, allowing a high current connection to be made directly to the target printed circuit board. Devices have low values of contact resistance. Operating the connector at excessive temperatures can cause damage to the connector, the PCB, and poses a potential safety risk. If using devices with a higher ambient temperature, 85°C for example, the following solutions may be applied: Increased PCB copper area (especially on higher resistance center pin plane); Increased copper thickness; Increased PCB operating temperature rating.
