55FA0514-26-7L Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque value for the screw terminals?
  The recommended torque value for the screw terminals is 0.5-1.5 Nm (4.4-13.3 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 55FA0514-26-7L connector is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10G (10 Hz to 2000 Hz) according to IEC 61373 Cat. 2. However, it's crucial to ensure proper mounting and secure the connector to the PCB or chassis to maintain reliability.
• What is the operating temperature range for this connector?
  The 55FA0514-26-7L connector is rated for operation in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 125°C (-40°F to 257°F). It's essential to consider this range when designing your application to ensure reliable performance.
• Is this connector suitable for use in harsh environments, such as those with high humidity or exposure to chemicals?
  The 55FA0514-26-7L connector has a sealed design and is rated IP67, which means it can withstand immersion in water up to 1m (3.3 ft) for 30 minutes. However, it's still important to evaluate the specific environmental conditions of your application and consider additional protection measures if necessary.
• Can I use this connector with wire sizes other than the recommended AWG 24-20?
  While the 55FA0514-26-7L connector is designed for use with AWG 24-20 wires, it's possible to use other wire sizes with some limitations. Consult with TE Connectivity or a qualified engineer to determine the feasibility of using alternative wire sizes and ensure reliable connections.
