Use Cases

Ideally suited for both industrial and consumer application sectors, the LCAF8-38F-L series of rectangular connectors is particularly useful for connecting power, signal and data lines in the aerospace, automotive and medical industries. Its fully shielded construction and low-engagement forces ensure a solid connection even under extreme temperatures, ensuring reliable data communication and power delivery in a range of operating conditions.

Associated Components

Associated components for the LCAF8-38F-L include crimp housings, contacts, locking elements and other accessories. With contact position variants ranging from 2 to 18, the connector can be easily customized to integrate into any application. It also offers low-resistance crimp contacts, optimized for low contact resistance and good cable stability.

Working Principle

The LCAF8-38F-L series of rectangular connectors works by using a series of contact pins to establish a reliable contact when the connector is pushed into the associated housing. Elastic sequences of contacts ensure that no current flow occurs through any contaminants which may be present on the surface of the pin. The main advantage of the LCAF8-38F-L lies in its low-engagement force, which enables the connector to establish a reliable connection even under high stress and force. As the connection is made, the temperature of the contact pins rises, ensuring reliable contact between each pin and the associated housing.
