8190-6 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque for screwing the terminal into the PCB?
  The recommended torque is 0.5-1.5 in-lbs (0.056-0.169 Nm) to ensure secure fastening without damaging the PCB or the terminal.
• Can I use this terminal with a wire size larger than 20 AWG?
  While the datasheet specifies 20 AWG as the maximum wire size, it's possible to use larger wires with some adjustments. However, it's recommended to consult with Keystone Electronics Corp or a qualified engineer to ensure the terminal can handle the increased wire size and current capacity.
• How do I ensure reliable connections when using this terminal in high-vibration environments?
  To ensure reliable connections in high-vibration environments, use a locking screw or a screw with a thread-locking compound to prevent the screw from coming loose. Additionally, consider using a wire with a higher strand count and a larger wire size to reduce the risk of wire fatigue.
• Is this terminal suitable for use in high-temperature applications?
  The 8190-6 terminal is rated for operation up to 150°C (302°F). However, it's essential to consider the temperature rating of the wire, insulation, and other components in the system to ensure reliable operation. Consult with Keystone Electronics Corp or a qualified engineer for specific guidance.
• Can I use this terminal with a PCB material other than FR4?
  While the datasheet assumes FR4 as the PCB material, the terminal can be used with other materials like polyimide or ceramic. However, the thermal and mechanical properties of the alternative material may affect the terminal's performance. Consult with Keystone Electronics Corp or a qualified engineer for specific guidance.
