Here is my problem: I have a pogo pin that I'd like to use, which is rated for 11 amperes. I also found a female receptacle for pogo pins, which while not having a current rating, I believe is safe to assume is at least the same 11 amperes for which the pogo pin is rated.
The question is: How can I know if the connection between these two components is rated for 11 amperes? If not, how can I calculate its real current rating? I know that the current rating for this connection is a function of the surface area of the contact patch between the components, but beyond a computer simulation, something like that is very difficult to estimate. Is there another way?
