4-2363961-0 - TE Connectivity

4-2363961-0 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 4-2363961-0 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 this 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 ensure the wire size and insulation meet the connector's specifications to maintain reliability.
• Can I use this connector in harsh environments, such as high-temperature or high-humidity applications?
  The 4-2363961-0 connector is designed for general-purpose applications and may not be suitable for extreme environments. However, TE Connectivity offers variants of this connector with enhanced environmental sealing or specialized materials for use in harsh environments. Consult with TE Connectivity or a qualified distributor for specific recommendations.
• Are there any specific PCB layout considerations for this connector?
  Yes, to ensure reliable operation and prevent damage to the connector or PCB, follow TE Connectivity's recommended PCB layout guidelines, including keeping the connector away from high-voltage areas, avoiding thermal vias near the connector, and using a sufficient solder mask to prevent solder bridging.
