EIA 364-70-C-2014 PDF Download

The EIA 364-70-C-2014 standard outlines the procedures for conducting tests to determine temperature rise in connectors and sockets. Specifically, this standard applies to connectors and sockets with conductor sizes that are equal to or less than 0000 AWG (American Wire Gauge) or equivalent.

The purpose of this standard is to provide a standardized methodology for evaluating the temperature rise of electrical connectors and sockets under various current loads. By conducting these tests, manufacturers and users can assess the suitability and reliability of these components in terms of their ability to handle specified electrical current levels without excessive temperature rise.

The standard defines the steps and conditions for carrying out the tests, ensuring consistency and accuracy across different testing scenarios. It sets parameters for the conductor size, establishes the acceptable current levels to be applied, and outlines the specific measurements and calculations necessary to determine the temperature rise of the connectors and sockets under test.
