The recommended torque for the screw terminals is 0.5-1.5 Nm (4.4-13.3 in-lbs). It's essential to follow this torque specification to ensure reliable connections and prevent damage to the connector.
Yes, the Molex 0643183018 connector 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 the PCB or chassis to prevent damage or disconnection.
The Molex 0643183018 connector has a rating of IP20, which means it provides some protection against solid objects but is not fully sealed against moisture or water. For outdoor or harsh environmental applications, consider using a connector with a higher IP rating or additional sealing measures.
The Molex 0643183018 connector has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C (-40°F to 221°F). Exceeding this temperature range may affect the connector's performance, reliability, or lifespan.
While the datasheet specifies AWG 18-24 wire sizes, it's possible to use other wire sizes with this connector. However, you should verify the wire size and insulation diameter to ensure proper fit and connection reliability. Consult with Molex or a qualified engineer for guidance on using non-standard wire sizes.
