I see that those ones with 0.6mm lead thickness are rated for 3A each, up to 60-pin connector. http://www.hondaconnectors.com/prodDetails.asp?ci=13&c=Rectangular%20Connectors&sci=26&sc=MR%20MRP%20AND%20MRH%20Series&pi=446&p=MR-%288-50%29F%28G%29
By parallelling more pins you can get a better rating. Just to add, I recognised quite a few of those connectors, some used in Thinkpads to connect RAM or CPUs, some used widely in various industry and some 3-leveled blue connectors used on Carl Zeiss encoders... (a 2000-grid encoder has output of 8000 quadratures per revolution, that's rather nice :)) On 4/25/08, Dave Engvall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Jon, > > The Honda MR series connectors used on the Mazak V5, etc might come > close.
