LCAX500-38-6

Panduit Corp's LCAX500-38-6 sets new standards in Terminals - Rectangular Connectors for marine electronics systems. This corrosion-resistant connector delivers reliable performance in saltwater environments, featuring advanced sealing technologies that prevent moisture ingress. The materials are specially formulated to resist biofouling and electrolytic corrosion, making it ideal for navigation, sonar, and offshore energy applications.The Rectangular Tongue design provides stable electrical connections despite constant salt spray exposure. The marine-grade contacts maintain low resistance in high-humidity conditions.Available in 3/8 Stud configurations, this terminal meets diverse marine power distribution needs. The contacts feature sacrificial anodes for extended service life in seawater applications.With Single Stud Hole architecture, this connector offers superior resistance to wave-induced vibration. The design includes multiple sealing barriers against water intrusion.The 0.260" (6.60mm) specification compensates for material loss due to saltwater corrosion. This thickness ensures decades of reliable service in tidal zone installations.At 3.270" (83.06mm), this terminal provides proper creepage distance for wet marine environments. The length includes safety factors for condensation and salt buildup.The 1.890" (48.01mm) dimension allows for easy handling with wet or gloved hands. This ergonomic design is crucial for offshore maintenance operations.The Free Hanging (In-Line) configuration enables secure installation on vibrating marine structures. This design prevents loosening from wave action and engine vibration.Employing Crimp, Barrel technology, this connector resists electrolytic corrosion in mixed-metal environments. The termination method creates a moisture-proof seal around conductors.Supporting 500MCM (kcmil) conductors, this terminal accommodates both heavy marine cables and delicate sensor wiring. The design prevents strand corrosion in constant damp conditions.The Non-Insulated system provides resistance to marine growth and petroleum products. The material maintains dielectric properties after prolonged seawater immersion.The Pink finish provides UV resistance for prolonged sun exposure on deck. The high-visibility coloring aids in salt-sprayed equipment identification.
