2118903-1 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque value for the screw terminals?
  The recommended torque value for the screw terminals is 0.5-1.5 Nm (4.4-13.3 in-lbs). It's essential to follow this range to ensure reliable connections and prevent damage to the connector.
• Can I use this connector in high-vibration applications?
  Yes, the 2118903-1 connector is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10G (10 Hz to 2000 Hz) according to IEC 60068-2-6. However, it's crucial to ensure proper mounting and secure the connector to prevent damage or disconnection.
• Is this connector suitable for outdoor or harsh environmental applications?
  The 2118903-1 connector has a rating of IP67, which means it can withstand temporary immersion in water (up to 1m for 30 minutes) and is protected against dust ingress. However, it's essential to follow proper sealing and installation guidelines to maintain the IP67 rating.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for this connector?
  The 2118903-1 connector has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C (-40°F to 257°F). It's essential to ensure that the connector is used within this range to maintain its performance and reliability.
• Can I use this connector with wire sizes other than the recommended AWG 20-24?
  While the datasheet recommends AWG 20-24 wire sizes, it's possible to use other wire sizes with the 2118903-1 connector. However, it's crucial 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.
