The T-Contact is an advanced design, based on the research around the Gecko connector system. By using a single piece of Beryllium Copper in a turned design, the current-carrying capacity of the contact is improved, due to additional mass of metal. Beryllium Copper is used as the base metal to ensure the spring qualities of the contact area are maintained. This design enables a current rating of 8.5 A max (25°C ambient) individually, or 4 A max when all contacts are electrically loaded.
