1898910 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque for screwing the connector onto a panel?
  The recommended torque is 0.6 Nm to 1.2 Nm, depending on the specific application and panel material. It's essential to consult the installation instructions and follow the recommended torque to ensure a secure connection.
• Can I use this connector in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the 1898910 connector is designed to withstand vibrations and shocks. It meets the requirements of IEC 61373 Cat. 2, which means it can operate in environments with vibrations up to 15 g (IEC 61373 Cat. 2). However, it's crucial to ensure proper installation and secure fastening to maintain the connector's integrity.
• Is the connector suitable for outdoor use or exposure to harsh environmental conditions?
  The 1898910 connector has a protection rating of IP67, which means it can withstand temporary immersion in water (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes) and is protected against dust ingress. However, it's not designed for continuous outdoor use or exposure to extreme temperatures, chemicals, or UV radiation. For such applications, consider using a connector with a higher protection rating or additional environmental protection measures.
• Can I use this connector with a different wire gauge or type than specified in the datasheet?
  While the datasheet specifies a particular wire gauge and type, it's possible to use the connector with other wire gauges or types. However, this may affect the connector's performance, reliability, and safety. It's essential to consult with Phoenix Contact or a qualified engineer to ensure the connector is compatible with the desired wire gauge and type, and to verify that the connection meets the required safety standards.
• How do I ensure proper wire termination and strain relief when using this connector?
  To ensure proper wire termination and strain relief, follow the recommended wire stripping and termination procedures outlined in the datasheet or installation instructions. Use the correct wire stripping tool and ensure the wire is securely fastened to the connector. Additionally, consider using a strain relief device or cable tie to prevent wire damage or disconnection due to mechanical stress.
