The recommended torque for the screw terminals of the CST042NK is 0.5 Nm to 1.5 Nm, as specified in the TE Connectivity application notes.
Yes, the CST042NK is designed to withstand high-vibration environments. It meets the IEC 61373 Category 2 vibration standard, which means it can operate in environments with vibrations up to 15 g.
The CST042NK can accommodate wire sizes up to 2.5 mm² (14 AWG). However, it's recommended to use wires with a maximum diameter of 1.5 mm to ensure reliable connections.
The CST042NK has a rating of IP20, which means it's not suitable for outdoor use or exposure to moisture. If you need a connector for outdoor use, consider using a connector with a higher IP rating, such as IP67 or IP69K.
The CST042NK has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. However, the temperature rating may vary depending on the specific application and the materials used. It's recommended to consult with a TE Connectivity representative or a qualified engineer to determine the suitability of the CST042NK for your specific application.
