4.2.7 Recommended Wire Gauge

  • Input connection to the VIN and PGND terminal blocks (T1, T2, and T3) – The recommended wire size is AWG #12, with the total length of wire less than two feet (1 foot input, 1 foot return).
  • Output load connection to the VOUT and PGND terminal blocks (T5, T6, T7, and T8) – The minimum recommended wire size is AWG #10, with the total length of wire less than two feet (1 foot output, 1 foot return). A thicker wire gauge can be required to minimize the voltage drop in the wires.
