The recommended mating sequence is to mate the keying feature first, followed by the connector body. This ensures proper alignment and prevents damage to the connector.
To ensure reliable connections in high-vibration applications, use a secondary locking mechanism, such as a screw or clip, to secure the connector in place. Additionally, consider using a connector with a higher retention force or a custom-designed connector with enhanced vibration resistance.
The maximum operating temperature for the 22-23-2021 connector is 125°C (257°F). However, it's essential to note that the temperature rating may vary depending on the specific application and environmental conditions.
While the 22-23-2021 connector is designed to be robust, it's essential to evaluate its suitability for harsh environments on a case-by-case basis. Consider using connectors with specialized coatings or materials, such as those with IP67 or IP69K ratings, for applications involving high humidity or exposure to chemicals.
The recommended torque specification for the 22-23-2021 connector is typically between 0.5 and 1.5 Nm (4-12 in-lbs). However, it's essential to consult the specific datasheet or manufacturer's guidelines for the exact torque specification, as it may vary depending on the application and connector type.
