1715721 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 material to ensure the correct torque value.
• Can I use this connector in high-vibration applications?
  Yes, the 1715721 connector is designed to withstand vibrations and shocks according to IEC 61373 Category 1, Class 1. However, it's crucial to ensure proper mounting and screwing to the PCB.
• Is the connector suitable for use in humid or wet environments?
  The 1715721 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 20-24?
  While the connector is designed for AWG 20-24 wires, you can use other wire sizes, but ensure the wire insulation diameter and stripping length are compatible with the connector's specifications. Consult the datasheet and Phoenix Contact's application notes for guidance.
• What is the maximum operating temperature for this connector?
  The 1715721 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.
