PLB08F7000/AA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque for the screw terminals?
  The recommended torque for the screw terminals is 0.5-0.7 Nm (4.4-6.3 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 PLB08F7000/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) in the frequency range of 2-2000 Hz.
• Is this connector suitable for use in harsh environments, such as those with high temperatures or humidity?
  Yes, the PLB08F7000/AA is designed for use 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 and longevity.
• What is the mating cycle life of this connector?
  The PLB08F7000/AA has a mating cycle life of 500 cycles minimum, which means it can withstand at least 500 connect and disconnect cycles without compromising its performance or reliability.
• Can I use this connector with wire sizes other than 20 AWG?
  While the PLB08F7000/AA is designed for use with 20 AWG wire, it can accommodate wire sizes ranging from 18 AWG to 22 AWG. However, it's essential to follow the recommended wire stripping and termination procedures to ensure reliable connections.
