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.
Yes, the 2118720-2 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 2118720-2 connector has a IP67 rating, which means it is protected against dust and water ingress. However, it's essential to follow proper sealing and installation procedures to maintain the IP67 rating. Additionally, the connector's materials and construction can withstand moderate exposure to environmental factors, but it's not recommended for extreme or prolonged exposure to harsh conditions.
While the datasheet recommends using AWG 20-24 wires, it's possible to use other wire sizes with the 2118720-2 connector. However, it's essential to ensure the wire size is compatible with the connector's terminal design and that the wire insulation is not damaged during installation. Consult with TE Connectivity or a qualified engineer for guidance on using non-recommended wire sizes.
Yes, it's essential to follow proper PCB design and layout guidelines when using the 2118720-2 connector. Ensure the PCB layout allows for easy connector installation and removal, and that the PCB material and thickness can withstand the connector's screw terminals and any potential thermal expansion. Consult with TE Connectivity or a qualified engineer for specific design guidelines.
