1715031 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 more detailed guidance.
• Can I use this connector in high-vibration environments?
  Yes, the 1715031 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 damage or disconnection.
• Is the connector suitable for use in humid or wet environments?
  The 1715031 connector has a IP20 rating, which means it's protected against solid objects larger than 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 24-18?
  While the datasheet recommends AWG 24-18, the connector can accommodate smaller wire sizes with proper stripping and crimping. However, using larger wire sizes may compromise the connector's reliability and performance. Consult Phoenix Contact's application notes for guidance on wire size selection.
• What is the maximum operating temperature for this connector?
  The 1715031 connector is rated for operation in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +125°C. However, the temperature rating may vary depending on the specific application and environmental conditions.
