114403-E - TE Connectivity

114403-E Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque value for the screw terminals?
  The recommended torque value for the screw terminals is 0.5-1.5 Nm (4.4-13.3 in-lbs). It's essential to follow this torque specification to ensure reliable connections and prevent damage to the connector.
• Can I use this connector in high-vibration applications?
  Yes, the 114403-E connector is designed to withstand vibrations and is suitable for use in applications with moderate to high vibration levels. However, it's essential to ensure proper mounting and secure the connector to prevent damage or disconnection.
• Is the connector suitable for outdoor use or exposure to harsh environments?
  The 114403-E connector has a IP67 rating, which means it's protected against dust and water ingress. However, it's not designed for prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, high temperatures, or corrosive substances. If you need to use the connector in harsh environments, consider additional protection measures or consult with TE Connectivity for customized solutions.
• Can I use this connector with wire sizes other than the recommended AWG 20-24?
  While the datasheet recommends using AWG 20-24 wires, you can use other wire sizes with caution. However, using smaller or larger wires may affect the connector's performance, reliability, and durability. Consult with TE Connectivity or a qualified engineer to determine the feasibility of using alternative wire sizes.
• Are there any specific PCB layout considerations for this connector?
  Yes, to ensure reliable connections and prevent damage to the connector or PCB, follow these layout guidelines: maintain a minimum clearance of 1.5 mm between the connector and nearby components, use a solder mask to prevent solder bridging, and ensure the PCB is designed to accommodate the connector's footprint and mounting holes.
