Hello all, I am trying to make a 4 pin DIN to power pole adapter. From the data sheet I found, it says 4 Position: 48V DC 7.5A Max. For All Pins.
Does it mean the current on all pins combined to be 7.5A or each pin is rated 7.5A?
Based on the wording in the 3 pins jack I am leaning on the latter.

@Mys_721tx Based on how this falls under the "contact rating" heading, and how for the 3-pin version they specify a different value for pin 3, I think this is a rating per pin.
@ThePhoton That's great to know! The power supply I will be working with is also using a 4-pin DIN output, with two pins for positive, two pins for negative. I was worried only able to get 90W out of it.

Go with gold contacts if possible.

All the contacts in my rolodex are gold :)
@adamaero I'm barely old enough to remember people using rolodexes and I bet I've got a decade on you.
@ThePhoton I saw them in the local Office Center / Staples about a month ago or so, still for sale.
