Frequently Asked Questions
How many conductors can the Molex 90170-0060 strain relief accommodate in a ribbon cable assembly?
The Molex 90170-0060 is designed for 60-conductor flat ribbon cables, clamping all 60 wires to prevent pull-out forces from reaching the connector body. This makes it well suited for high-density signal and data interconnects in industrial PLCs, computer backplanes, and test equipment requiring reliable mechanical retention.
Up to what temperature can the 90170-0060 strain relief maintain its mechanical integrity?
Constructed from polyester, the 90170-0060 retains its mechanical clamping force at continuous operating temperatures up to 85°C. This thermal tolerance makes it suitable for industrial control cabinets and embedded electronics where internal heat from power components could otherwise degrade plastic strain-relief accessories over time.
Which conformance approvals does the 90170-0060 hold, and how do they affect regulatory sign-off?
The 90170-0060 carries DIN approval, confirming compliance with German industrial standards for connector accessories used in control panels rated at voltages up to 300 V. This certification simplifies CE-marking documentation for OEMs integrating the strain relief into automation equipment destined for European and global industrial markets.
