231-146/001-000 - Wago

231-146/001-000 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. It's essential to consult the WAGO application notes for specific guidance.
• Can I use this connector in high-vibration environments?
  Yes, the 231-146/001-000 connector is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10 g according to IEC 60068-2-6. However, it's crucial to ensure proper mounting and screwing to prevent loosening during operation.
• Is the connector suitable for use in humid or wet environments?
  The connector has a IP20 rating, which means it's protected against solid objects larger than 12 mm, but not against water or moisture. For humid or wet environments, consider using a connector with a higher IP rating or applying additional sealing measures.
• Can I use this connector with wire sizes other than 0.5 mm² to 2.5 mm²?
  While the datasheet specifies a wire size range of 0.5 mm² to 2.5 mm², it's possible to use smaller or larger wires with proper derating. Consult WAGO's wire size derating tables and application notes for guidance.
• What is the maximum operating temperature for this connector?
  The connector is rated for operation in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 125°C. However, the temperature rating may vary depending on the specific application and environmental conditions.
