2106831-1 datasheet by TE Connectivity

2106831-1 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque value for the screw terminals?
  The recommended torque value for the screw terminals is 0.5-0.7 Nm (4.4-6.3 in-lbs). It's essential to follow this value to ensure proper connection and prevent damage to the connector.
• Is the 2106831-1 connector suitable for outdoor use?
  While the connector is designed for industrial applications, it's not specifically rated for outdoor use. If you need to use it outdoors, ensure it's properly sealed and protected from environmental factors like moisture, dust, and extreme temperatures.
• Can I use this connector with a different wire gauge than specified in the datasheet?
  It's not recommended to use a wire gauge that's significantly different from the specified range (22-18 AWG). Using a smaller or larger gauge wire may affect the connector's performance, reliability, and even safety. Consult with TE Connectivity or a qualified engineer if you need to use a different wire gauge.
• How do I ensure proper mating and unmating of the connector?
  To ensure proper mating and unmating, follow the recommended mating sequence and alignment. Make sure the connector is properly seated and the latches are securely engaged. When unmating, use a gentle rocking motion to avoid damaging the connector or the PCB.
• Are there any specific PCB layout considerations for this connector?
  Yes, it's essential to follow the recommended PCB layout guidelines to ensure proper connector operation and prevent damage. Pay attention to the recommended pad size, spacing, and orientation to ensure reliable connections and minimize the risk of damage during assembly or use.
