LP16 2-pin fully metal waterproof aviation socket with screw-crimp connector for male and female docking plugs (flange-mount) Why you need this socket Reliable power and signal connection in harsh conditions: the all-metal construction and waterproof design prevent failures caused by vibration, heat, moisture, dust, and contaminants common in aviation and field use. Saves time and reduces downtime: compatible with both male and female docking plugs for fast field replacements and simple maintenance without special tooling. Stable electrical performance: the screw-crimp connector creates a secure, low-resistance electrical path that resists loosening under vibration, preserving system integrity. Key benefits and features Fully metal body: rugged metal housing for long service life in demanding environments; resists mechanical stress, thermal exposure, and repeated mating cycles. Waterproof protection: seals contacts against moisture, dust, and contaminants to improve reliability outdoors and in aircraft applications. Screw-crimp termination: provides a dependable, low-resistance connection that stays secure under vibration; designed for field serviceability. Dual docking compatibility: supports both male and female docking configurations for flexible installation and easier replacements. Flange-mount, compact form factor: panel-friendly design fits tight spaces and standard mounting flanges for straightforward integration into existing panels and equipment. What it solves Eliminates intermittent connections caused by vibration or corrosion by combining a metal housing with a sealed contact interface. Reduces maintenance time with a connector that accepts standard male and female plugs and uses screw-crimp terminations for quick, reliable wiring. Ensures consistent electrical performance in outdoor and aircraft environments where dust, moisture, and temperature fluctuations are present. Typical applications Aircraft maintenance bays and ground support equipment power hookups: dependable connector for tools, test gear, and power distribution where vibration and exposure are common. UAV/UAS field charging stations and drone docking setups: secure, weather-resistant connection for field charging and automated docking in remote or mobile operations. Outdoor industrial or marine airfield equipment: power and signal connections for lighting, ground equipment, and other systems that require weatherproof, vibration-resistant interfaces. Technical highlights (concise) Model: LP16, 2-pin Housing: fully metal Termination: screw-crimp connector Mounting: flange-mount, panel-friendly, compact Compatibility: male and female docking plugs Designed for: vibration, heat, moisture, dust, and demanding field/aviation environments Use this LP16 2-pin socket when you need a compact, rugged, and serviceable connector that keeps power and signals reliable under real-world stresses.
