1723161306 - Molex

1723161306 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 (4.4-13.3 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 1723161306 connector is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10G (10 times the acceleration due to gravity) in the frequency range of 10-2000 Hz. However, it's recommended to consult with Molex or a qualified engineer to ensure the connector meets the specific vibration requirements of your application.
• What is the operating temperature range for this connector?
  The operating temperature range for the 1723161306 connector is -40°C to 105°C (-40°F to 221°F). It's essential to ensure the connector operates within this temperature range to maintain its performance and reliability.
• Is this connector suitable for use in harsh environments, such as exposure to moisture or chemicals?
  The 1723161306 connector has a IP67 rating, which means it can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) for 30 minutes. However, it's not designed for continuous exposure to harsh environments. If your application requires exposure to moisture or chemicals, you should consider additional protection measures, such as conformal coating or sealing.
• Can I use this connector with wire sizes other than the recommended AWG 20-24?
  While the 1723161306 connector is designed for use with AWG 20-24 wires, it's possible to use it with other wire sizes. However, you should consult with Molex or a qualified engineer to ensure the connector can accommodate the wire size and gauge you plan to use, and to determine any potential performance or reliability impacts.
