The latest “Tiny Trio” of LEMO ® connector developments are based around smaller diameter contacts though still having high contact ratings due to the continued use of the unique LEMO contact design, with the inbuilt spring ensuring continuous contact even with high vibration.
Consequently LEMO have firstly been able to squeeze 5 contacts each rated to 1.5A into their tiny 00 Series which is only 6mm diameter, making it ideal for communications and other equipment where very small yet tough connectors are required for handling signals. Additionally LEMO are now able to offer 12 contacts in the 0B series, which is only 9.5mm diameter and 1.5A continuous rated!
The second new range from LEMO is the waterproof T Series, which is based upon the long and widely established B Series connectors, incorporating the original LEMO push-pull latching connection technology and including an inner sleeve and additional sealing to provide protection against water ingress to IP68 level when mated.
The T Series utilizes the proven high performance contact system and configurations from the highly popular LEMO B Series range, providing a very wide selection of options that can be made available quickly. It is backwardly compatible with the B Series, with the same socket panel hole diameter, which will be of considerable benefit to customers looking to upgrade existing designs, as there is no need to change front panel dimensions, and upgraded cable plug assemblies will work with existing sockets.
The third development, the MM Series, is the smallest of the LEMO M Series ratchet coupling connectors, the significantly smaller alternatives to standard military connectors (e.g. MIL C38999) with up to 4 contacts in a ruggedised micro housing.
For designers of man-portable, vehicle-mounted, aerospace electronics and C4ISTAR command and control information systems the LEMO M-Series is the smallest multi-pin, fully shielded, vibration secure and sealed connector available offering a lightweight, ‘one-grip’ screw-lock connection with high pin-count density, 3600 EMI protection, and LEMO rugged quality.
In many military, aerospace, and instrumentation applications designers might first seek MIL 38999 series connectors but when space is at a premium and connector diameter size becomes critical then the smaller, higher contact density of the LEMO M-Series wins decisively—the smaller diameter solution with savings of up to 45% on flange to PCB depth.
