LCDX3/0-12H-X

The LCDX3/0-12H-X is a type of rectangular connector and terminal. It is part of a series of well sealed, reliable and compact rectangular connector products developed by the Cembre for a wide range of applications. It is used in the railway, automobile, defense and even aerospace industries. It has diverse options for the customization of its electro-mechanical properties.

Application Field

The LCDX3/0-12H-X is used in a variety of applications in many different industries. Some of the most common applications are fixed wall wiring and small junction box installation. The rectangular connectors are used when there is a need for multiple lines and a very limited space. In the railway industry, the connectors are used in the installation of power cables in wagons, crossings, track systems and switches. The automotive industry uses them in all kinds of cars, such as luxury, passenger, as well as trucks. Finally, the defense industry uses the LCDX3/0-12H-X in military and aerospace applications.

Working Principle

The main principle on which the LCDX3/0-12H-X terminal connecter, is based is the “push-in-technology”. This technology enables two or more terminals to be connected to each other quickly and easily. All the parts of this connection consist of a contact sleeve, a ferrule and a crimp die. The contact sleeve is the entry point of the conductors that need to be connected. The ferrule is inserted into the contact sleeve and biases the conductors, ensuring a secure connection. The crimp die secures the connection when wired. This type of connection is highly reliable, as it ensures a perfect electrical connection with minimal contact resistance.

The LCDX3/0-12H-X is a reliable and versatile terminal connector, with multiple applications and various electro-mechanical configurations that make it suitable to different applications. Its design based on the “push-in- technology” makes it the best option for tight spaces where multiple lines are needed.
