2108838-1 - TE Connectivity

2108838-1 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 2108838-1 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.
• What is the operating temperature range for this connector?
  The operating temperature range for the 2108838-1 connector is -40°C to 125°C (-40°F to 257°F). It's essential to ensure that the connector is used within this temperature range to maintain its performance and reliability.
• Is this connector suitable for use in harsh environments, such as exposure to water or chemicals?
  The 2108838-1 connector has a IP67 rating, which means it is protected against dust and temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) for 30 minutes. However, it's not recommended for use in applications with exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged immersion in water.
• 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 2108838-1 connector. However, it's essential to ensure that the wire size is compatible with the connector's terminal design and that the wire is properly secured to prevent damage or disconnection.
