*'''Head diameter for electrical loads'''
For AC currents: approx. 1 – 1.5 A/mm²
For 1 A min. 2 mm head diameter
10 A approx. 3 – 3.5 mm head diameter
20 A approx. 5 mm head diameter
For DC currents: approx. 0.5 – 0.8 A/mm²
*'''Head radius R for electrical loads'''
for I < 1 A R 1,5 mm
I = 6 A R 5 mm
I = 10 A R 10 mm
I = 20 A R 15 mm
