LCS-5 Double Head Aircraft Type Nylon Isolation Column - Black Standoff

Specifications:

• Model: LCS-5
• Material: Nylon 
• Color: Black
• Head Type: Double-headed Aircraft Snap-in
• Total Length: 22mm (Standard LCS-5 Profile)
• Mounting Hole Diameter: ~3.0mm - 3.5mm
• Feature: Anti-corrosive, non-conductive, tool-less install

Key Applications:

• Drone Assembly: Ideal for stacking flight controllers and ESCs in multi-rotor aircraft.
• Industrial Panels: Securely mounting control PCBs to metal enclosures without screws.
• Prototyping: Quick-snap mounting for breadboards or development kits on acrylic bases.
• Consumer Electronics: Used in high-vibration environments to isolate power boards.

Project Evolution

• Past Projects (Prerequisites): If you have used standard M3 metal standoffs, you know the frustration of stripping threads or adding unnecessary weight.
• Feature Upgrade: Switching to the LCS-5 unlocks "Screw-less" assembly, significantly reducing build time and weight while improving vibration dampening.
• Effort/Requirements: Beginner. No tools required; simply push into the mounting hole until it clicks.

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-5?
   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-5 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.
