Subject: Re: [TN] 200A Connections to PCB
'I was responsible for all connections,contacts and connectors for a period. I had to change opinion about this topic! It's a LOT to learn. From this time I dare insist:
1. Forget circular wires
2. Use flat and insulated 'cable' (or high current braid when high flex is
needed)
3. Braze!
If you can find Robert Kollman's 'Constructing Your Power Supply-Layout Considerations' Texas Instrument , you may find further advice about current calculations.
