2226996-1 - TE Connectivity

2226996-1 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 2226996-1 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.
• Is the connector compatible with wire sizes other than AWG 20-24?
  While the datasheet specifies AWG 20-24 wire sizes, the connector can accommodate smaller wire sizes (e.g., AWG 26-28) with the use of appropriate wire adapters or terminals. However, it's crucial to verify the wire size and terminal compatibility before making a connection.
• What is the operating temperature range for this connector?
  The 2226996-1 connector is rated for operation in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 125°C (-40°F to 257°F). It's essential to ensure the connector is used within this temperature range to maintain its performance and reliability.
• Can I use this connector in harsh environments, such as exposure to water or chemicals?
  The 2226996-1 connector has a IP67 rating, which means it can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) for 30 minutes. However, it's not designed for continuous exposure to water or harsh chemicals. If you need a connector for such applications, consider using a more specialized connector with enhanced environmental sealing.
