Product catalog summary
General Production Programme: The document outlines LEMO's diverse range of connectors, including unipole, coaxial, multipole, high voltage, triaxial, quadrax, hybrid configurations, fibre optic, fluidic, and thermocouple connectors. It highlights the availability of connectors with various shell materials and configurations, such as watertight and hermaphroditic shells.
Main Characteristics and Types: LEMO connectors are known for their push-pull self-latching system, ensuring secure connections even under vibration or shock. The document details different series and types, including standard, watertight, keyed, and rectangular connectors.
LEMO’s Push-Pull Self-Latching Connection System: This system allows for easy and secure mating and unmating of connectors, providing protection against vibration and shock. The connectors can be disengaged by pulling on the outer release sleeve.
F Series Production Programme: The F Series includes various models with different cable diameter ranges and contact configurations. It supports low voltage (LV) and fibre optic (FO) contacts, catering to diverse application needs.
Selection of Shell Materials and Degrees of Protection: Shells are made from materials like aluminium alloy and brass, with finishes that provide mechanical strength and resistance to environmental factors. The document explains the IP code system for ingress protection, indicating the level of protection against foreign bodies and moisture.
Technical Characteristics: The document provides detailed specifications for different connector models, including metal housing, watertight PCB models, and fibre optic models. It also covers alignment keys, insert configurations, and contact types.
Assembly Instructions and Safety Notice: Instructions for proper handling and assembly are provided to prevent hazardous situations. The document emphasizes adherence to safety regulations and disclaims liability for misuse of products.
Technical Document Summary
1. Specifications and Standards: This document provides detailed specifications for wire gauges according to the American Wire Gauge (AWG) and IEC-228 standards. It includes tables listing wire diameters, sections, and maximum current ratings for different conductor groups. Conversion units for measurements are also provided.
2. Wire Gauge Tables: The document includes tables for AWG and IEC-228 standards, detailing wire construction, maximum diameters, and sections in both metric and imperial units. These tables are essential for selecting appropriate wire sizes for various applications.
3. Maximum Current Ratings: Maximum current ratings for insulated conductors are provided, based on ambient temperature conditions. The ratings are divided into Group 2 (multi-conductor cables) and Group 3 (single conductor cables), with specific current limits for each nominal section size.
4. Safety and Handling Instructions: Safety guidelines emphasize the importance of proper handling, installation, and use of connectors to prevent hazards such as electric shock and fire. It advises on visual inspections, proper training, and the use of appropriate tools during assembly.
5. Product Improvements and Disclaimers: LEMO reserves the right to modify product specifications without prior notice. The document includes disclaimers regarding liability for damages and emphasizes the importance of adhering to safety regulations.

LEMO’s Push-Pull Self-Latching Connection System This self-latching system is renowned worldwide for its easy and quick mating and unmating features. It provides absolute security against vibration, shock or pull on the cable, and facilitates operation in a very limited space. The LEMO self-latching system allows the connector to be mated by simply pushing the plug axially into the socket. Once firmly latched, connection cannot be broken by pulling on the cable or any other component part other than the outer release sleeve. When required, the connector is disengaged by a single axial pull on...

General Characteristics Selection of shell materials Aluminium alloy The aluminium alloy outer shells find numerous applications where light weight is a predominant factor; such as in the aeronautics and space industries, and for portable and mobile equipment. Shells are made of high mechanical strength alloy (Alu minium alloy). Connector shells are protected by a conductive anthracite grey coloured nickel finish. As a standard latch sleeve are made of special bronze or brass, this material offer excellent performances for most of the applications. For very demanding vibrating situation we recommend...
