2357798-2 - TE Connectivity

2357798-2 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 value to ensure reliable connections and prevent damage to the connector.
• Can I use this connector in high-vibration applications?
  Yes, the 2357798-2 connector is designed to withstand vibrations and is suitable for use in applications with moderate to high vibration levels. However, it's essential to follow proper mounting and installation procedures to ensure the connector remains secure.
• Is the connector compatible with wire sizes other than the recommended AWG 20-18?
  While the datasheet recommends AWG 20-18 wire sizes, the connector can accommodate smaller wire sizes (up to AWG 22) with some adjustments to the wire stripping and termination process. However, using larger wire sizes may not be possible due to the connector's design constraints.
• Can I use this connector in harsh environmental conditions, such as high temperatures or humidity?
  The 2357798-2 connector is designed to operate in a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and can withstand moderate humidity levels. However, it's essential to follow proper sealing and protection procedures to ensure the connector remains reliable in harsh environments.
• Are there any specific PCB layout considerations I should be aware of when using this connector?
  Yes, it's essential to follow proper PCB layout guidelines to ensure reliable connections and prevent damage to the connector. Key considerations include keeping the PCB traces away from the connector's mounting holes, using a sufficient solder mask, and ensuring proper clearance around the connector's body.
