2.1.3 Load Connectors

The input connectors labeled IN+ and IN- correspond to the high-current rated load connector lugs supplied with the EVM. These components must be screwed to the board to make contact. The acceptable load input maximum for the included connectors is 90A for DC measurements. However, the continuous allowable load is bounded by the safe operating area (SOA) described in the data sheet of the TMCS device under test. Although the high-current connector pads are labeled IN+ and IN- the polarity required to sense current with the TMCS-A-ADAPTER-EVM is device dependent and are described in the data sheet of the TMCS device if applicable.
