Krone LSA-PLUS
Encyclopedia
KRONE LSA-PLUS is an insulation-displacement connector
for telecommunications. It is a proprietary European alternative to 110
.
in the 1970s by The KRONE Group, a German telecommunications company. In 2004, KRONE was acquired by ADC Telecommunications
, an American corporation. ADC was later acquired by Tyco Electronics
in 2010.
Compared to 110, krone can be easily identified by its contact slots arranged at a 45 degree angle to the wire. The contacts use silver
to inhibit corrosion.
