1071002 - Phoenix Contact

1071002 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque for screwing the connector onto a PCB?
  The recommended torque is 0.5 Nm to 1.5 Nm, depending on the specific application and PCB material. It's essential to consult the Phoenix Contact application notes for specific guidance.
• Can I use this connector in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the 1071002 connector is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10 g according to IEC 60068-2-6. However, it's crucial to ensure proper mounting and screwing to prevent loosening during operation.
• Is the connector suitable for use in harsh environments, such as those with high humidity or extreme temperatures?
  The 1071002 connector is rated for operation in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 125°C and can withstand humidity up to 95% RH. However, it's essential to consider additional protection measures, such as conformal coating or sealing, for extreme environmental conditions.
• Can I use this connector with wire sizes other than the recommended AWG 20-24?
  While the datasheet recommends AWG 20-24, the connector can accommodate smaller wire sizes (e.g., AWG 26-28) with reduced current ratings. However, using larger wire sizes may compromise the connector's reliability and is not recommended.
• What is the maximum current rating for this connector?
  The 1071002 connector has a maximum current rating of 8 A per contact, depending on the specific application and wire size used. It's essential to consult the Phoenix Contact application notes and relevant standards (e.g., IEC 60998) for specific guidance.
