1702474 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque for screwing the connector to the PCB?
  The recommended torque is 0.5 Nm to 1.5 Nm, but it's essential to consult the specific PCB design and screw type to ensure proper fastening.
• Can I use this connector in high-vibration applications?
  Yes, the 1702474 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 the PCB to maintain reliability.
• Is the connector suitable for use in humid or wet environments?
  The 1702474 connector has a IP20 rating, which means it's protected against solid objects > 12 mm, but not against water or moisture. For humid or wet environments, consider using a connector with a higher IP rating or applying additional sealing measures.
• Can I use this connector with wire sizes other than the recommended AWG 20-24?
  While the connector is designed for AWG 20-24 wires, you can use other wire sizes with caution. However, ensure the wire insulation diameter and stripping length are compatible with the connector's specifications to avoid damage or poor connections.
• Are there any specific PCB layout considerations for this connector?
  Yes, ensure the PCB layout provides sufficient clearance around the connector, and the mounting holes are aligned with the connector's screw holes. Also, consider the connector's height and width when designing the PCB to avoid conflicts with other components.
