• Precautions:

  1. Ensure proper liquid cooling (flow rate ≥2 L/min) to maintain junction temperature below 150°C — overheating degrades performance of ABB 5SHY35L4503 3BHB004693R0001 3BHB004692R0002 5SXE01-0127.
  2. Use torque-controlled tools for terminal connections to prevent contact resistance issues.
