236-103 - Wago

236-103 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 the 236-103 connector in high-vibration environments?
  Yes, the 236-103 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 or damage.
• Is the 236-103 connector suitable for use in humid or wet environments?
  The 236-103 connector has a IP20 rating, which means it's protected against solid objects > 12.5 mm, but not against water or moisture. For humid or wet environments, consider using a connector with a higher IP rating or applying additional protection measures.
• Can I use the 236-103 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 and consultation with WAGO's application engineers. However, this may affect the connector's performance and reliability.
• What is the maximum operating temperature for the 236-103 connector?
  The 236-103 connector is rated for operation in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +125°C. However, the maximum operating temperature may vary depending on the specific application and environmental conditions.
