PLB12M0000/AA datasheet by Amphenol Positronic

PLB12M0000/AA 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 PLB12M0000/AA is designed to withstand high-vibration environments. It meets the IEC 61373 Cat 2 vibration standard, which means it can operate reliably in applications with vibrations up to 15 g (147 m/s²) at 10-2000 Hz.
• Is this connector suitable for use in harsh environments, such as those with high temperatures or humidity?
  Yes, the PLB12M0000/AA is designed to operate in harsh environments. It has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and can withstand humidity up to 95% RH. However, it's essential to follow the recommended storage and operating conditions to ensure the connector's reliability.
• What is the mating cycle life of this connector?
  The PLB12M0000/AA has a mating cycle life of 500 cycles minimum, which means it can withstand at least 500 connect-disconnect cycles without significant degradation in performance.
• Can I use this connector with wire sizes other than AWG 20-24?
  While the datasheet specifies AWG 20-24 wire sizes, it's possible to use this connector with other wire sizes. However, it's essential to consult with Amphenol Positronic or a qualified engineer to ensure the connector's performance and reliability are not compromised.
