1986717-3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque value for the screw terminals?
  The recommended torque value for the screw terminals is 0.5-0.7 Nm (4.4-6.3 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 1986717-3 connector is designed to withstand vibrations and is suitable for use in applications with moderate to high vibration levels. However, it's essential to ensure proper mounting and secure the connector to prevent damage or disconnection.
• Is the connector compatible with wire sizes other than AWG 20-18?
  While the datasheet specifies AWG 20-18 wire sizes, the connector can accommodate other wire sizes with some adjustments. However, it's crucial to consult with TE Connectivity or a qualified engineer to determine the feasibility and any necessary modifications for using different wire sizes.
• What is the operating temperature range for this connector?
  The 1986717-3 connector is rated for operation in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 125°C (-40°F to 257°F). It's essential to ensure the connector is used within this temperature range to maintain its performance and reliability.
• Can I use this connector in harsh environments, such as exposure to water or chemicals?
  The 1986717-3 connector has a IP67 rating, which means it can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. However, it's not designed for continuous exposure to water or harsh chemicals. If you need a connector for such environments, consider using a more specialized connector or consulting with TE Connectivity for a custom solution.
