Precision modular connectors to suit your application

Since it’s creation in Switzerland in 1946 the LEMO Group has been recognized as a global leader of circular Push-Pull con-

nectors and connector solutions. Today LEMO and its affiliated companies, REDEL and COELVER, are active in more than

80 countries with the help of over 40 subsidiaries and distributors.

Over 50’000 connectors

The modular design of the LEMO range provides over 50’000 connectors from miniature ø 3 mm to ø 50 mm, capable of han-

dling cable diameters up to 30 mm and for up to 106 contacts.

This vast portfolio enables you to select the ideal connector configuration to suit almost any specific requirement in most mar-

kets, including medical devices, test and measurement instruments, machinery, audio video broadcast, telecommunications

and military.

LEMO’s Push-Pull Self-Latching Connection System

The LEMO self-latching system allows the connector

to be mated by simply pushing the plug axially into the

socket.

This self-latching system is renowned worldwide for its easy and quick mating and unmating features. It provides absolute secu-

rity against vibration, shock or pull on the cable, and facilitates operation in a very limited space.

UL Recognition

LEMO connectors are recognized by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL). The approval of the complete system (LEMO

connector, cable and your equipment) will be easier because LEMO connectors are approved.

CE marking

CE marking means that the appliance or equipment bearing it complies with the protection requirements of one or

several European safety directives. CE marking applies to complete products or equipment, but not to electrome-

chanical components, such as connectors.

RoHS

LEMO connectors are in compliance with the RoHS directives (2002/95/EC) of the European Parliament. This directive spec-

ifies the restrictions of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment marketed in Europe. LEMO

guarantees that its connectors are free of mercury, cadmium, lead, hexavalent chromium and polybromide biphenyl (PBB)

or polybromide diphenyl ether (PBDE).

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 sin-

gle axial pull on the outer release sleeve. This first dis-

engages the latches and then withdraws the plug from

the socket.

The LEMO Hermaphroditic series provide a rugged high performance patented push-pull hermaphroditic interconnection

system. These «genderless» connectors combine LEMO’s well proven push-pull latching technology and the use of our

standard high quality optical and electrical contacts.

The main features of these series are as follow:

– security of a new patented push-pull hermaphroditic self-latching system

– 2 shell sizes, SH and MH series

– compact unsealed version for general purpose applications

– rugged waterproof (IP 68) version for all outdoor applications

– a choice of multifibre or electrical contacts configurations

– lightweight design with shell in anthracite nickel-plated aluminium alloy

– low loss ceramic PC technology in multimode and singlemode

– gold plated electrical contacts.

Each series consists of plug and socket which will accept cable diameter ranging from 3.6 mm to 10 mm. Initial program is

giving solutions with 2, 4 or 6 fibre optic channel and 6 or 12 electrical contacts.

PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND CONSULT ALL RELEVENT NATIONAL AND

INTERNATIONAL SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR YOUR APPLICATION.

IMPROPER HANDLING, CABLE ASSEMBLY, OR WRONG USE OF CONNECTORS CAN RESULT IN HAZARDOUS

SITUATIONS.

1. SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD

Incorrect wiring, the use of damaged components, presence of foreign objects (such as metal debris), and / or residue

(such as cleaning fluids), can result in short circuits, overheating, and / or risk of electric shock.

Mated components should never be disconnected while live as this may result in an exposed electric arc and local

overheating, resulting in possible damage to components.

2. HANDLING

Connectors and their components should be visually inspected for damage prior to installation and assembly. Suspect

components should be rejected or returned to the factory for verification.

Connector assembly and installation should only be carried out by properly trained personnel. Proper tools must be used

during installation and / or assembly in order to obtain safe and reliable performance.

3. USE

Connectors with exposed contacts should never be live (or on the current supply side of a circuit). Under general

conditions voltages above 30 VAC and 42 VDC are considered hazardous and proper measures should be taken to

eliminate all risk of transmission of such voltages to any exposed metal part of the connector.

4. TEST AND OPERATING VOLTAGES

The maximum admissible operating voltage depends upon the national or international standards in force for the

application in question. Air and creepage distances impact the operating voltage; reference values are indicated in the

catalog however these may be influenced by PC board design and / or wiring harnesses.

The test voltage indicated in the catalog is 75% of the mean breakdown voltage; the test is applied at 500 V/s and the

test duration is 1 minute.

5. CE MARKING

CE Marking is applied to a complete product or device, and implies that the device complies with one or several European

safety directives.

CE Marking can not be applied to electromechanical components such as connectors.

6. PRODUCT IMPROVEMENTS

The LEMO Group reserves the right to modify and improve to our products or specifications without providing prior

notification.
