Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a detailed description of LEMO's unipole and multipole connectors, highlighting their specifications, configurations, and applications across various sectors such as medical, telecommunications, and military.
Connector Series: The catalogue is organized into several series, each tailored for specific environmental conditions and applications:
  • B Series: Indoor, keyed connectors with options for metal and plastic housing, elbow sockets, and watertight models.
  • K Series: Outdoor, keyed connectors with watertight and vacuumtight models.
  • S Series: Indoor connectors with stepped inserts, available in metal and plastic housing.
  • E Series: Outdoor connectors with stepped inserts, offering watertight and vacuumtight models.
  • L Series: Outdoor, keyed connectors with stepped inserts, including vacuumtight models.
  • G, C, D Series: Indoor connectors with specific configurations such as hermaphroditic and quadrax types.
Selection Process: A three-step process is outlined for selecting the appropriate connector:
  1. Select the connector series based on environmental parameters like indoor/outdoor use, temperature range, and ingress protection.
  2. Determine the connector size using the cable wire's section or AWG to select the optimal contact diameter.
  3. Complete the part number using the series, insulator configuration, and other specifications.
Technical Features: LEMO connectors feature a Push-Pull self-latching system for secure connections resistant to vibration and shock. They are UL recognized and conform to RoHS directives.
Applications: Suitable for medical devices, test and measurement instruments, machinery, audio-video broadcast, telecommunications, and military use.

Ingress Protection (IP) Code: The document explains the IP code system per IEC 60529, classifying the sealing effectiveness of electrical enclosures against foreign bodies and moisture.
Device Protection: For outdoor devices requiring IP66 or above, watertight sockets from specified series are recommended. Devices under pressure differences must be tested for helium leakage as per MIL 1344A.
Connector Features: B series connectors offer features like push-pull self-latching, multipole types, high packing density, multiple key options, and full EMC shielding.
Part Numbering System: Examples of part numbers are provided for different connector configurations, detailing the series, model, and specific features like contact type and insulator material.
Specifications: The document details mechanical and climatical properties, dimensions, and compatibility of various models, including watertight and vacuumtight models.
Procedures and Standards: References IEC standards for endurance, salt spray corrosion, and leakage rate tests.
Recommendations: Models are compatible with plugs of the same series and suitable for use in portable radios, military, laboratory equipment, and aviation.
Key Features: K Series is designed for outdoor applications with features like push-pull latching, watertight connections, multipole types, and EMC shielding.
Mechanical Endurance: Specifies a mechanical endurance of 5000 cycles for the latching system.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): Highlights the importance of EMC in device design, emphasizing connector design for optimal shielding efficiency.
Insulator Materials: Discusses various thermoplastics and their properties, highlighting the benefits of adding glass fibers.
Contact Materials and Treatment: Details materials like bronze beryllium and brass for contacts, with surface treatments like nickel and gold plating.
Crimp and Solder Contacts: Describes the advantages of crimping over soldering, including high tensile strength and suitability for high temperatures.
Cable Fixing Systems: Outlines the materials and treatments used for cable clamping systems.
Specifications and Assembly Instructions: Provides detailed assembly instructions for various series of connectors.
Connector Components: Lists components for plug and socket assemblies, including collet nuts, collets, flexible gaskets, and more.
Tightening Torque Specifications: Provides maximum tightening torque values for metal and plastic collet nuts.
Wire Gauge and Current Ratings: Includes tables for wire gauges and maximum current ratings.
Safety and Handling Instructions: Outlines safety precautions and handling guidelines.
Testing and Operating Voltages: Provides guidelines for test and operating voltages.
CE Marking and Product Improvements: Clarifies that CE Marking applies to complete products and notes the right to modify products or specifications without prior notification.
