The recommended torque for the M40-6003146 screw terminals is 0.5 Nm to 1.5 Nm, depending on the wire size and type.
While the datasheet specifies 24-30 AWG wire, the M40-6003146 can accommodate smaller wire sizes with proper termination techniques. However, it's essential to ensure the wire insulation does not exceed the maximum diameter specified in the datasheet.
To ensure reliable connections, use a torque screwdriver, strip the wire insulation correctly, and avoid over-tightening or under-tightening the screws. Also, consider using a wire dressing or strain relief to prevent wire damage.
The M40-6003146 is designed for general-purpose applications. For high-vibration or high-temperature applications, consider using Harwin's high-reliability connectors, such as the Datamate or Gecko series, which are specifically designed for harsh environments.
The M40-6003146 is designed for manual assembly, but it can be used with automated assembly processes with proper tooling and programming. Consult with Harwin or a qualified automation expert to ensure compatibility and optimal assembly.
