I'm working on a little project. Device draws 3.3V @ 2.8amps. Yes its an LED.
The sealed connectors I wanted to use are designed for use with 24AWG wire.
I just realized that most 24AWG 2 conductor wire has a recommended max AMP of around ~2.
I also noticed that when reading 3-4 conductor wire data sheets it labels a recommend amp per conductor.
So if say a 3 conductor wire has a rating of 1.5amp per conductor, could I wire 2 of the conductors up to positive, and 1 to negative? The negative is pretty much used for completing the circuit and has no load right?
Sorry, I wasn't sure if this was the right forum. And couldn't find any answers on google.
