218-504 - Wago

218-504 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque for screwing the connector onto a PCB?
  The recommended torque is 0.5 Nm to 1.5 Nm, depending on the specific application and PCB material.
• Can I use this connector with a wire gauge larger than 24 AWG?
  No, the 218-504 connector is designed for use with wire gauges 24 AWG to 20 AWG. Using a larger wire gauge may compromise the connection's reliability.
• Is the connector suitable for high-vibration or high-shock applications?
  While the connector is designed to be robust, it's not specifically rated for high-vibration or high-shock applications. For such applications, consider using connectors with additional features like locking mechanisms or reinforced designs.
• Can I use this connector in a high-temperature environment?
  The connector is rated for operation up to 85°C (185°F). Exceeding this temperature may affect the connector's performance and reliability. For high-temperature applications, consider using connectors with higher temperature ratings.
• Is the connector compatible with automated assembly processes?
  Yes, the 218-504 connector is designed for automated assembly and can be used with standard pick-and-place machines and reflow soldering processes.
