The recommended torque value for the screw terminals is 0.5-1.5 Nm (4.4-13.3 in-lbs). It's essential to follow this range to ensure reliable connections and prevent damage to the connector.
Yes, the 2-173985-6 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.
The 2-173985-6 connector has a rating of IP67, which means it can withstand temporary immersion in water and exposure to dust. However, it's not designed for continuous outdoor use or exposure to extreme temperatures, chemicals, or UV radiation. Additional protection or sealing may be required for such applications.
While the datasheet recommends using AWG 20-24 wires, it's possible to use other wire sizes with caution. However, using smaller or larger wires may affect the connector's performance, reliability, and durability. It's essential to consult with TE Connectivity or a qualified engineer to determine the suitability of alternative wire sizes.
Yes, to ensure reliable operation and prevent damage, it's essential to follow TE Connectivity's recommended PCB layout guidelines, including keeping the connector away from high-temperature components, avoiding sharp bends or kinks in the PCB, and ensuring proper clearance around the connector.
