2157603002 - Molex

2157603002 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque for the screw terminals?
  The recommended torque for the screw terminals is 0.5-1.5 Nm (4.4-13.3 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 Molex 2157603002 connector is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10G (10 Hz to 2000 Hz). However, it's crucial to ensure proper mounting and secure the connector to the PCB or chassis to prevent damage or disconnection.
• Is this connector suitable for outdoor or harsh environmental applications?
  The Molex 2157603002 connector has a rating of IP20, which means it provides some protection against solid objects and limited protection against water. While it can be used in outdoor applications, it's essential to consider additional protection measures, such as conformal coating or sealing, to ensure reliability in harsh environments.
• What is the maximum operating temperature for this connector?
  The Molex 2157603002 connector has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C (-40°F to 221°F). It's essential to ensure that the connector is used within this temperature range to maintain its performance and reliability.
• Can I use this connector with wire sizes other than AWG 20-24?
  While the datasheet specifies AWG 20-24 wire sizes, it's possible to use this connector with other wire sizes. However, it's crucial to ensure that the wire size and insulation meet the connector's specifications and that the wire is properly stripped and terminated to prevent damage or electrical issues.
