LCS-12 Double Head Aircraft Type Nylon Isolation Column - Black 12mm Standoff

Specifications:

• Model: LCS-12
• Material: Nylon 
• Color: Black
• Head Type: Double-headed Aircraft Snap-in
• Total Length: 30mm (Standard LCS-5 Profile)
• Standoff Height: 12mm
• Mounting Hole Diameter: ~3.0mm - 3.5mm
• Feature: Anti-corrosive, non-conductive, tool-less install

Key Applications:

• Drone Frame Stacking: Perfect for separating flight controllers from ESCs with enough room for cabling.
• IoT Gateways: Mounting PCBs inside plastic or metal project boxes with 12mm of base clearance.
• Educational Kits: Providing a safe, screw-less mounting method for student electronics projects.
• Sensor Mounting: Lifting ultrasonic or IR sensors away from the chassis to avoid interference.

Project Evolution

• Past Projects (Prerequisites): If you’ve used the ultra-slim LCS-5, you may have found it difficult to route wires underneath the board.
• Feature Upgrade: Upgrading to the LCS-12 unlocks enough vertical space for cable management and clearing taller surface-mount components like inductors or connectors.
• Effort/Requirements: Beginner. Simply push into a 3.2mm hole; no tools or screws required.

Virtual Technician & Wiring

 Installation Guide: 

• Ensure your PCB and chassis holes are pre-drilled to 3.2mm.
• Press the bottom head into the base until the wings lock.
• Align your PCB and press down on the top head to secure the board.

Safety Note: Do not exceed the maximum load rating; nylon columns are designed for lightweight PCB support, not heavy structural loads.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What hole size is required for the LCS-12?
   A standard 3.2mm to 3.5mm hole is recommended.
2. Is this material heat resistant?
   safe for standard electronic operating temperatures.
3. Can I reuse these columns?
   Yes, the snap-wings can be depressed to remove and reuse the column.
4. Are they conductive?
   No, they are made of Nylon 66, which is an excellent electrical insulator.
5. Do they require screws?
   No, the double-head design is purely snap-in.
6. What is the color?
   These are specifically the Black variant.
7. Can these be used in outdoor drones?
   Yes, nylon is resistant to corrosion and environmental moisture.
8. What is the maximum PCB thickness supported?
   Ideally designed for standard 1.6mm FR4 PCBs.
9. Are they stronger than plastic spacers?
   Nylon 66 offers better toughness and flexibility than standard cheap plastics.
10. Do they vibrate loose?
    No, the "aircraft-style" wings are designed to lock under tension.
11. How many pieces are included?
    This listing is for 1 piece.
12. Are these M3 compatible?
    They fit into holes typically used for M3 screws.
13. Do they rust?
    No, being plastic, they are completely rust-proof.
14. Can I paint them?
    While possible, it is not recommended as it may affect the snap-fit.
15. What is the "Aircraft" type?
    It refers to the snap-in wing design commonly used in aerospace and lightweight electronics.
16. Are these ROHS compliant?
    Yes, our nylon hardware meets standard environmental regulations.
17. Can they hold heavy transformers?
    No, they are intended for lightweight PCBs and sensors.
18. Do they come in other sizes?
    This SKU is specifically for the LCS-12 size.
19. Will they snap if it's cold?
    Nylon remains resilient, but excessive force in extreme freezing temperatures should be avoided.
20. Is a datasheet available?
    Basic dimensions are provided; these follow the standard LCS-5 industrial footprint.
