LEMO’s rugged, high density, IP rated connectors suit defence and hi-rel applications - Space-saving, multi-pin, fully shielded, vibration-secure and sealed connector with high pin-count density, 360° EMC shielding protection

LEMO’s recently announced new NiCorAl surface treatment, a specially formulated Nickel Teflon finish in Anthracite dark grey colour developed particularly for the company’s aluminium alloy bodied M Series ratchet coupling range of connectors, is very well suited to defence and hi-rel applications.

Available from Astute Electronics, the leading supplier of electronic components and value added services which has a long pedigree in servicing these demanding markets, LEMO’s M Series devices are claimed to be the smallest multi-pin, full shielded, vibration-secure and sealed connectors available, offering a lightweight connection with high pin-count density and 3600 EMC shielding protection. Proving to be an excellent and significantly smaller alternative to MIL 38999 connectors, M Series connectors are fully tested according to AECTP 300 / MIL-STD-810 / MIL-STD-202 standards. Aluminium bodied devices have passed the 500 hour salt spray test target while the brass bodied versions have achieved 1000+ hours. The new finish satisfies the requirements of both RoSH2 and the forthcoming REACH 2017 regulations.

Other products from LEMO - the renowned Swiss manufacturer of precision connectors used in a variety of challenging application environments - that are also available from Astute Electronics, include the lightweight, high temperature F series targeting the defence, autosport and other harsh markets, and the T series, an update of LEMO’s staple B series with a higher contact density and IP68 rating, will be of great benefit to our customer base.
