The recommended torque 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 terminals.
Yes, the 8-31897-1 connector is designed to withstand high-vibration environments. It meets the IEC 61373 Cat 2 vibration standard, making it suitable for use in applications such as industrial control systems, transportation, and more.
The 8-31897-1 connector has a rating of IP67, which means it provides protection against dust and water ingress. However, it's essential to ensure proper sealing and installation to maintain the IP67 rating. Additionally, the connector's materials and plating can withstand outdoor environments, but it's recommended to follow TE Connectivity's guidelines for outdoor use.
While the datasheet specifies AWG 18-22 wire sizes, it's possible to use this connector with other wire sizes. However, it's crucial to ensure the wire size and insulation diameter are compatible with the connector's terminal design. Consult TE Connectivity's application notes or contact their technical support for guidance on using alternative wire sizes.
The 8-31897-1 connector has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C (-40°F to 257°F). This range is suitable for most industrial and commercial applications, but it's essential to consider the temperature rating when designing systems that operate in extreme environments.
