Panasonic’s A35P series; here, the “P” stands for Power. In this series, each individual pin can be used for either carrying signal or power. This is achieved by reducing the contact resistance on each pin to a maximum of only 30 mΩ. Please realize the current rating for each power pin depends on the number of power pins in use. For example, when using 4 power pins, a maximum of 1.5 A can be used for each power pin but when using 8 power pins, the rating drops down to 1.25 A for each power pin. Regardless of how many power pins are being used, this connector can handle a maximum of 12 A total through the entire connector. The designer may also want to note that the PCB pattern width and the amount of current flowing through the pins will affect the overall temperature rise from the connector, as shown here in the bottom table.
