ISS1-20-L - SAMTEC

ISS1-20-L Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque for the screws on the ISS1-20-L?
  The recommended torque for the screws on the ISS1-20-L is 0.5-1.5 in-lbs (0.056-0.169 Nm) according to Samtec's application notes.
• Can I use the ISS1-20-L in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the ISS1-20-L is designed to withstand high-vibration environments. It meets the IEC 61373 Cat 1, Class B vibration standard, which means it can operate in environments with vibrations up to 15 g (147 m/s²) at 10-2000 Hz.
• Is the ISS1-20-L compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
  Yes, the ISS1-20-L is compatible with lead-free soldering processes. Samtec recommends using a soldering temperature of 260°C (500°F) for a maximum of 10 seconds.
• What is the maximum operating temperature of the ISS1-20-L?
  The maximum operating temperature of the ISS1-20-L is 125°C (257°F). However, Samtec recommends derating the connector's current rating at higher temperatures to ensure reliable operation.
• Can I use the ISS1-20-L in a humid or wet environment?
  The ISS1-20-L has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1, which means it can withstand normal humidity levels. However, it's not designed for immersion in water or exposure to high-pressure water jets. For humid or wet environments, consider using a connector with a higher MSL rating or applying a conformal coating.
