They are ideal for connecting components and cables to the PCB or as fastening elements, especially when high torques are required or little installation space is available.<\/p>\r\n<p>Lead-free design and high torques<\/p>\r\n<p>All LF PowerPlus high-current elements consist of a stamped brass base body (CuZn37) and a stainless steel screw element. The special design of the base body of the LF PowerPlus elements allows population on both sides in the same position, thus delivering a highly compact design. Important: All Powerelements do not contain any lead and are therefore not subject to any time-limited exemption regulation of the RoHS Directive.<\/p>\r\n<p>The stainless steel screw of the LF PowerPlus Powerelements supports a higher tightening torque than other high-current contacts: from 1.8 Nm with the smallest thread, M4, up to 42 Nm with the largest version, M12. Depending on the layout, the LF PowerPlus high-current contacts can carry currents of up to 400 amperes.<\/p>\r\n<p>Proven quality and new advantages in assembly<\/p>\r\n<p>The new LF PowerPlus 2.0 series offers the same mechanical and electrical properties as its predecessor, but is substantially easier to process:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>The pin or nut is now firmly attached to the element, making automatic screwing possible.<\/li>\r\n<li>The new screw tip facilitates easier insertion and positioning of the nut.<\/li>\r\n<li>An improved pin design reduces the required press-in forces.<\/li>\r\n<li>Special press-in tools are no longer required.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>LF PowerPlus 2.0 high-current contacts are available in sizes M5, M6 and M8, each as a socket or pin version. The dimensions M4, M10 and M12 can still be purchased as conventional variants. Changing over from the old to the new system is very simple: the elements are compatible with the old generation as regards their drilling pattern and height. LF PowerPlus 1.0 is therefore easily interchangeable with LF PowerPlus 2.0. Torque and current-carrying capacity also remain the same.<\/p>\r\n<p>Designed in proven press-fit technology<\/p>\r\n<p>Designed as press-fit elements, the new LF PowerPlus 2.0 power supply elements naturally have all the specific advantages of this technology: the PCBs are not exposed to temperature stress when the components are installed. The press-fit process is easy to integrate into the process chain. The press-fit is mechanically very stable and has an extremely low contact resistance of 100\u2013200 \u03bcOhm.<\/p>\r\n<p><a
