Lightning Arrestor Connectors Production Readiness [PDF]
, 2008 The Lightning Arrestor Connector (LAC), part “M”, presented opportunities to improve the processes used to fabricate LACs. The A## LACs were the first production LACs produced at the KCP, after the product was transferred from Pinnellas. The new LAC relied on the lessons learned from the A## LACs; however, additional improvements were needed to meet ...

Failure analysis of rutile sleeves in MC3080 lightning arrestor connectors. [PDF]
, 2006 The purpose of this SAND Report is to document efforts in the extraction and failure analyses of sleeve-style Lightning Arrestor Connectors (LACs). Several MC3080 and MC3079 LACs were recovered from the field and tested as part of the Enhanced Surveillance Campaign. A portion of these LACs failed retesting.

IET Networks, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract 3D scanning is rapidly becoming a key maintenance tool. Aerospace was a pioneer in adopting 3D scanning technology because aircraft manufacture and maintenance require precision. Monitoring deterioration, removing components for maintenance, and verifying covert operations are not practical or helpful without technology.

Solderability study of 63Sn-37Pb on zinc-plated and cadmium-plated stainless steel for the MC4636 lightning arrestor connector. [PDF]
, 2004 Cadmium plating on metal surfaces is commonly used for corrosion protection and to achieve good solderability on the 304L stainless steel shell of the MC4636 lightning arrestor connector (LAC) for the W76-1 system. This study examined the use of zinc as a potential substitute for the cadmium protective surface finish. Tests were performed with an R and

Investigations of techniques for reducing breakdown voltage in lightning arrestor connectors [PDF]
, 1977 The success of the MC2796 and MC2797 lightning arrestor connectors (LACs) in providing lightning protection for several weapon systems has resulted in requests for other LACs with other protection capabilities. Among these has been the request for lower breakdown voltage.
