Terminals - Rectangular Connectors

The LCMA16-5F-C is an example of a rectangular connector terminal, which is categorized under Souriau’s aluminum shell sub-miniature range. This product was designed for applications in the military/aerospace and transportation sectors and is available in various versions including: male, fixed, open style, collet and bayonet versions. It is capable of sealing against particles and fluids. With an overall length of 2.75mm and a current rating of 4A, the LCMA16-5F-C offers robust connectors in a highly compact design.

Application Field of LCMA16-5F-C

The LCMA16-5F-C has a wide range of applications across multiple industries. Within the automotive industry, it is used mainly in engine and transmission control systems, such as ABS and automatic transmission systems. It is also used in marine and military vehicles for communication, navigation, and fuel management applications. Its robust design makes it suitable for use in harsh environments, such as in aerospace applications and extreme temperatures. In the aerospace industry, it is commonly used in aircraft navigation, engines, and fuel management systems.

The LCMA16-5F-C is also used in many industrial applications, such as robotics, automation, and process control. Its durability and small form factor make it ideal for use in tight spaces, and its environmental resistance allows it to be used in heavy-duty industrial applications. Additionally, it is also used widely in the medical industry, where its reliability and resistance to fluids and particles have been key factor in its success.

Working Principle of the LCMA16-5F-C

The LCMA16-5F-C is designed to provide a secure and reliable connection between two components. It consists of two parts: the shell (which contains the connector pins) and the housing. The shell is composed of aluminum and contact blades which are designed to mate with the other components in a secure connection. When the correct mating parts are engaged, the pins are inserted into the receptacle and a secure mechanical connection is made.

The contact blades are designed so that the opening and closing of the connection can be done quickly, as they serve as fastener and transmission material. Once the blades are fully inserted into the receptacle they are prevented from vibrating or moving. This ensures that the connection is reliable and secure and there is no risk of corrosion or other damage. Additionally, the components are designed to withstand extreme temperatures.

The contact blades also have an integral locking system that further ensures the connection remains firmly in place. This locking system is usually a cam, which slides into the connector and locks when it is fully inserted. This prevents the connector from being accidentally disengaged while in use.

Conclusion

The LCMA16-5F-C is a highly reliable connector terminal, designed for use in a wide variety of applications. Its robust design allows it to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh environments, while its fastener and transmission material allow for quick and secure connection. Additionally, its integral locking system prevents the connector from being accidentally disengaged while in use. All of these factors make the LCMA16-5F-C an ideal choice for many automotive, aerospace, industrial, and medical applications.
