172298-2112 - Molex

172298-2112 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque for the screw terminals?
  The recommended torque for the screw terminals is 0.5-1.5 Nm (4.4-13.4 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 172298-2112 connector is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10G (10 Hz to 2000 Hz). However, it's crucial to ensure proper mounting and secure the connector to the PCB or chassis to prevent damage or disconnection.
• Is this connector suitable for outdoor or harsh environmental applications?
  The 172298-2112 connector has a rating of IP67, which means it can withstand temporary immersion in water (up to 1m for 30 minutes) and is protected against dust ingress. However, it's essential to follow proper sealing and installation procedures to maintain the IP67 rating.
• What is the maximum operating temperature for this connector?
  The 172298-2112 connector has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C (-40°F to 221°F). It's essential to ensure that the connector is used within this temperature range to maintain its performance and reliability.
• Can I use this connector with wire sizes other than AWG 20-24?
  While the datasheet specifies AWG 20-24 wire sizes, it's possible to use other wire sizes with the 172298-2112 connector. However, it's crucial to ensure that the wire size and insulation meet the connector's specifications and that the wire is properly stripped and terminated to prevent damage or electrical issues.
