This is a little off the signal integrity field, but it concerns PCB design. Each pin of a power connector (diameter = 3.75mm) that is to be mounted on a PCB is expected to carry a current of up to 25A of the -48V supply. I was just wondering if tapping off the power to three 2oz power planes would be sufficient. I would appreciate any comments on that. My concern is the effect of the small plane-pin contact area and the high current (8A per contact area). Thanks.
