LCAF4-56-L

The LCAF4-56-L is a reliable and rugged rectangular contact designed for rugged applications and harsh environments. It is well-suited for use in a range of electrical applications, such as branch circuits, lighting, and industrial and residential power systems. This reliable terminal is designed to provide secure and reliable connections in the most demanding electrical environments.

Product Description

The LCAF4-56-L is designed for efficient and reliable electrical connection in a variety of applications. It features a symmetrical design with an insulation plate and two machined contact portions separated by thermoplastic insulation. The contacts are plated dielectric for better conducting performance and enhanced corrosion resistance. The insulator plate eliminates the need for space between the terminals, and the contacts have large surface areas that provide superior current carrying capabilities. This terminal is rated for up to 260A and 1000V with a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Installation and Working Principle

The LCAF4-56-L is easy to install via either crimp or solder. For crimp installation, a crimp tool and properly sized die and sleeve must be used in instructions. The terminal must be correctly aligned with the mating connector and each contact must be crimped independently. When using a soldering iron, the terminal must be heated up to a temperature of at least 600°F. Once the solder has been applied, it must be allowed to cool prior to inserting the terminal into the connector. The LCAF4-56-L is designed with a contact force of 3N which, when combined with the over-mold design, ensures a secure electrical connection.

Materials and Construction

The LCAF4-56-L is constructed of high-grade copper with tin-plated contacts for corrosion resistance. The insulation materials are flame retardant and UL approved for indoor and outdoor applications. The contacts are gold-plated for improved conductance and resistance to corrosion. This terminal is over-molded to provide insulation and environmental protection. The contact retainer is made of nylon for added durability and strength.

Conclusion

The LCAF4-56-L is a reliable and rugged rectangular contact designed for efficient and reliable electrical connection in a variety of applications. It is designed for use in harsh environmental conditions and can handle up to 260A and 1000V. This contact is easily installed via either crimp or solder and is constructed of high-grade copper with tin-plated contacts for corrosion resistance and gold-plating for improved conductivity.
