This may come across as a stupid question, but I'll see what I get anyway.
I am looking at connectors for my circuitry in which the battery will connect to. The battery is 1100mAh (1.1Ah) and the connector I'm interested in has a rating of 1A. Immediately I can see that the battery output is above the connector rating, which suggests to me that the connector is unsuitable. However, the 1.1A output from the battery is measured over the course of an hour, whereas the connector rating is just 1A, which is why I ask.
If at any one time the connector is rated to handle 1A, but the battery only outputs a current above this over the course of an hour, it has made me wonder if this connector is in fact suitable for the battery at hand.
(the reason I chose this connector is because of its very small size, I'm aware there are connectors with a far greater rating!)
Thank you.
