MTSS156-03-D - PANCON CONNECTORS

MTSS156-03-D Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque value for the screw terminals?
  The recommended torque value for the screw terminals is 0.5-0.8 Nm (5-8 in-lbs). It's essential to follow this range to ensure reliable connections and prevent damage to the terminals.
• Can I use this connector in high-vibration applications?
  Yes, the MTSS156-03-D is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10G (10 Hz to 2000 Hz). However, it's crucial to ensure proper mounting and secure the connector to prevent damage or disconnection.
• Is the connector suitable for outdoor use or exposure to harsh environments?
  The MTSS156-03-D has a IP67 rating, which means it can withstand temporary immersion in water (up to 1m for 30 minutes) and is protected against dust ingress. However, it's not recommended for continuous outdoor use or exposure to extreme temperatures, chemicals, or UV radiation.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for this connector?
  The MTSS156-03-D can operate safely within a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C (-40°F to 257°F). Exceeding this range may affect the connector's performance, reliability, or lifespan.
• 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 (up to AWG 26) with proper termination and insulation. However, using larger wire sizes may require additional support or specialized tools.
