2380600-1 - TE Connectivity

2380600-1 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 2380600-1 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 wire adapters or by following TE Connectivity's wire stripping and termination guidelines. However, it's crucial to verify the wire size and termination method to ensure reliable connections.
• Can I use this connector in harsh environmental conditions (e.g., high temperature, humidity, or exposure to chemicals)?
  The 2380600-1 connector is designed for general-purpose applications and may not be suitable for extreme environmental conditions. If you need to use the connector in harsh environments, consider using a more specialized connector or consulting with TE Connectivity's technical support team for guidance on environmental ratings and potential modifications.
• Are there any specific PCB layout or design considerations I should be aware of when using this connector?
  Yes, it's essential to follow TE Connectivity's recommended PCB layout guidelines to ensure proper connector mating and to prevent damage to the connector or PCB. Key considerations include keeping the PCB surface clean and flat, using a sufficient solder mask, and maintaining a minimum clearance of 1.5 mm around the connector.
