ERM8-100-09.0-S-DV 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) according to Samtec's application notes.
• Can I use this connector in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the ERM8-100-09.0-S-DV is designed to withstand high-vibration environments. It meets the IEC 61373 Cat. 2 vibration standard, which ensures reliable performance in applications with intense vibration.
• Is this connector suitable for use in harsh environments, such as high-temperature or high-humidity applications?
  The ERM8-100-09.0-S-DV is rated for operating temperatures between -55°C to 125°C and can withstand humidity up to 95% RH. However, it's essential to consult Samtec's environmental specifications and application notes for specific guidance on using this connector in harsh environments.
• What is the mating cycle life of this connector?
  The ERM8-100-09.0-S-DV has a mating cycle life of 500 cycles minimum, according to Samtec's specifications. This means it can withstand at least 500 connect/disconnect cycles without compromising its performance.
• Can I use this connector with a different wire gauge than recommended?
  While it's technically possible to use a different wire gauge, it's not recommended. The ERM8-100-09.0-S-DV is designed to work with wire gauges between 24 AWG to 30 AWG. Using a different gauge may compromise the connector's performance, reliability, or even damage the connector or wire.
