Can you make the LEA-series sealed?

Turnlock offers a sealing gasket for the LEA-series:

LEASSGP

This is a gasket made of EPDM that offers the sealing solution to the LEA series.

How to calculate your stud length for LEATL series?

In order to calculate the stud length, first you'll need to select which receptacle you want to use.

There are the Clip- on receptacles and the Snap-in receptacles:

Next you need to choose if you want to use a grommet or retaining washer.

Depending on which you select, you need to use the below drawing to calculate the total panel thickness:

Snap-In receptacle with retaining washer: T = P

After selecting the receptacle, which retaining washer you wish to use, you just need to select the head style of the stud.

Then you're ready to calculate the stud length.

For example:

You wish to use the Type A receptacle LEARS1020Z and a slotted head stud, with a grommet, and you have a panel thickness of 2.7mm and a frame thickness of 1.2mm.

That means you need to use grommet LEAG170280, and the stud length formula you need is:

T = P + 1.2 = 2.7 + 1.2 = 3.9

If you'd prefer to use a retaining washer MHSWPS instead of the grommet, you need to use formula:

T = P = 2.7 , which results in stud length 8 which is used between T value 2.30 and 2.90

This results in the following part numbers:

Stud = LEATLS-8Z

Retaining washer = MHSWPS

Receptacle = LEARS1020Z

Note: you can use either the retaining washer or the grommet to hold the stud in place when the assembly is opened.

Do not use them together.

Can Turnlock supply the part 50S10-9-4AN ?

The part 50S10-9-4AN is a very old part number and is the cadmium plated cross head stud of the LEA-Series

Turnlock can make the exact same part, with the same fit, form and function.

Part number is LEATLC-9CD, which is cadmium plated.

Is it possible to use a higher stud length with the LEA-series?

Yes you can use a stud length up to 67.

You need to calculate "G" which is the total thickness. From there on you can select your stud length.

Here is the table to use when using a receptacle type 1

Yes there is, the part number is LEATLSR-*Z

This part is in the Light duty Easy Assembly series, and has a light tensile strength of 900 Newton.

The head style is typically used in railroad applications:

This is an application of Light Duty Easy Assembly of an installed clip-on receptacle and the stud with snap-in grommet. In just a few simple steps you can easily install the clip-on receptacle and the grommet. We are happy to explain you the details along with some photos.

Is it possible to have a waterproof assembly of the Light duty Easy Assembly (LEA) series?

There are already gaskets available in multiple series, such as the MTH, HGR and the HHS series. Now there are also gaskets available for the LEA series: the gasket LEAGIR.

The biggest advantage of the LEA assembly is the fast installation thanks to the receptacles which are clipped-on or snapped-in and the plastic retaining washer.

The adding of the gasket LEAGIR also takes no time at all.
