1721067 - Phoenix Contact

1721067 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 1721067 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 1721067 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 datasheet recommends AWG 20-24, you can use other wire sizes, but ensure the wire's insulation diameter and stripping length are compatible with the connector's specifications. Consult Phoenix Contact's application notes for guidance.
• Are there any specific PCB layout considerations for this connector?
  Yes, ensure the PCB layout follows Phoenix Contact's recommended footprint and keep-out zones to prevent interference with the connector's screwing mechanism and wire routing.
