The **LPCE-55D-R** is a specific electronic component, typically categorized as a **Circular Plastic Connector (CPC)** or a specialized power/signal connector often used in industrial or lighting applications. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic characteristics and specifications. --- ### 1. General Specifications The LPCE series is known for providing robust connections in environments where space and durability are concerns. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | Circular / Power-Signal Hybrid | | **Mounting Type** | Panel Mount / Wire-to-Board | | **Termination Style** | Solder or Crimp (model dependent) | | **Contact Plating** | Gold or Tin over Nickel | | **Housing Material** | Thermoplastic (High Temp) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Parameters These parts are designed to handle specific electrical loads. While specific ratings can vary slightly by manufacturer (such as Amphenol or CUI), the "55D" designation usually points to the following: * **Voltage Rating:** Typically rated for **250V to 600V AC/DC**, depending on the insulation spacing between pins. * **Current Rating:** Often supports **5A to 15A per contact**, making it suitable for power supply interfaces. * **Insulation Resistance:** Usually a minimum of **1000 MΩ**, ensuring minimal leakage current between adjacent pins. * **Dielectric Withstanding Voltage:** Can typically withstand **1500V AC** for one minute without breakdown. --- ### 3. Pin Configuration and Design The "55D" suffix often refers to the density or specific layout of the pins. 1. **Contact Layout:** High-density arrangement to minimize the footprint on the PCB or panel. 2. **Locking Mechanism:** Usually features a **Push-Pull** or **Bayonet-style** locking system to prevent accidental disconnection due to vibration. 3. **R-Suffix (RoHS):** The "-R" at the end strictly denotes **RoHS Compliance**, meaning the part is manufactured without lead, mercury, cadmium, or other hazardous substances. --- ### 4. Typical Applications Because of its rugged nature and reliable electrical contact, the LPCE-55D-R is found in: * **LED Lighting Systems:** Connecting drivers to high-output LED arrays. * **Industrial Automation:** Sensor data transmission and low-power motor control. * **Telecommunications:** Power distribution units (PDUs) within server racks. * **Medical Equipment:** Internal power routing where a secure, vibration-resistant connection is required. --- ### 5. Mechanical & Environmental Characteristics * **Durability:** Rated for approximately **500 mating cycles**. * **Temperature Range:** Operates between **-40°C and +105°C**. * **Ingress Protection:** Depending on the assembly, it can reach **IP67** (waterproof/dustproof) when mated correctly.
