FC4012D/AA-14 datasheet by Amphenol Positronic

FC4012D/AA-14 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque for the screw terminals?
  The recommended torque for the screw terminals is 0.5-1.5 Nm (4-12 in-lbs). It's essential to follow this torque specification to ensure reliable connections and prevent damage to the connector.
• Can I use this connector in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the FC4012D/AA-14 is designed to withstand high-vibration environments. It meets the vibration requirements of IEC 61373 Category 2, which means it can operate reliably in applications with vibrations up to 15 Hz to 2000 Hz, 10 G peak acceleration.
• Is this connector suitable for use in harsh environments, such as high-temperature or humid conditions?
  The FC4012D/AA-14 is designed to operate in a wide range of temperatures (-40°C to 125°C) and can withstand humid environments. However, it's essential to follow the recommended storage and operating conditions to ensure reliable performance.
• What is the mating cycle life of this connector?
  The FC4012D/AA-14 has a mating cycle life of 500 cycles minimum, which means it can withstand repeated connections and disconnections without compromising its performance.
• Can I use this connector with a different wire gauge than specified in the datasheet?
  While the datasheet specifies a recommended wire gauge, it's possible to use a different gauge. However, it's crucial to ensure that the wire gauge meets the connector's electrical and mechanical requirements to prevent damage or performance issues.
