172310-2302 - Molex

172310-2302 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque for the screw terminals?
  The recommended torque for the screw terminals is 0.5-0.7 Nm (5-7 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 1723102302 connector is designed to withstand vibrations and can be used in high-vibration applications. However, it's recommended to follow Molex's guidelines for vibration testing and to ensure proper mounting and securing of the connector.
• Is this connector suitable for outdoor or harsh environmental use?
  The 1723102302 connector is designed for indoor use and may not be suitable for outdoor or harsh environmental use without proper protection. If you need to use the connector in outdoor or harsh environments, consider using additional protection such as conformal coating or sealing.
• Can I use this connector with wire sizes other than the recommended AWG 20-24?
  While the datasheet recommends using AWG 20-24 wire sizes, it's possible to use other wire sizes with the 1723102302 connector. However, you should ensure that the wire size is compatible with the connector's terminal design and that the wire can withstand the maximum current rating of the connector.
• How do I ensure reliable connections and prevent terminal screw loosening over time?
  To ensure reliable connections and prevent terminal screw loosening, use a torque wrench to apply the recommended torque, and consider using a thread-locking compound or adhesive to secure the screws in place.
