8191-7 - Keystone Electronics

8191-7 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque for the screw terminals?
  The recommended torque for the screw terminals is 0.5-1.5 in-lbs (0.056-0.169 Nm) to ensure secure connections without damaging the terminals.
• Can I use this connector in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the 8191-7 is designed to withstand moderate vibration and shock. However, it's recommended to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for mounting and securing the connector to ensure reliable performance in high-vibration environments.
• Is the connector suitable for outdoor or harsh environmental applications?
  The 8191-7 has a plastic body and is not designed for outdoor or harsh environmental applications. For such applications, consider using connectors with a more robust design and environmental protection, such as IP67 or higher rated connectors.
• Can I use this connector 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 26-30) with some adjustments. However, using larger wire sizes may not be possible due to the terminal design. Consult with the manufacturer or a qualified engineer for specific guidance.
• Are the screw terminals self-locking or do they require a separate locking mechanism?
  The screw terminals on the 8191-7 are not self-locking and do not require a separate locking mechanism. The screws provide a secure connection when tightened to the recommended torque specification.
