What is LEMO type connector?

What is LEMO type connector?

A LEMO connector refers to the various push/pull connectors created by Switzerland-based LEMO that are useful in diverse hardware setups. A range of LEMO connectors are used for panel and coaxial connections and in fields like telecommunications and research.

How do I identify my LEMO connectors?

LEMO plugs have the model, size, and series marked on the circumference of the shell. Example: FGG. 1B. Note: the 3rd letter is the Key style.

Why are LEMO connectors expensive?

Lots of tooling, very small parts, tight tolerances, low volume …. that’s all expensive. If the volume on the plastic connector is very high (say a few million a month), you can get it’s price down. In small volume, the cost of molds will make it even more expensive than the (already tooled) metal connector.

What is LEMO power?

The 6-pin 1B LEMO connector accepts DC input power from 11.5 V DC to 17 V DC. A built-in power conditioner protects against reverse-polarity connections, electrostatic discharge (ESD), undervoltage, overvoltage, and overcurrent.

Are LEMO connectors shielded?

LEMO connectors offer full EMC / EMI shielding for headsets, antennas and microphone applications. Single and multiple coax as well as hybrid electrical/coax inserts save panel space and connection time. Environmental protection for longevity of connector pair.

How do LEMO connectors work?

The LEMO self-latching system allows the connector to be mated by simply pushing the plug axially into the socket. 3. Once firmly latched, connec- tion cannot be broken by pulling on the cable or any other compo- nent part other than the outer shell release sleeve.

Where are LEMO connectors made?

Precision manufacturing is LEMO’s core competence. Today, manufacturing plants exist in Switzerland, Hungary, and the United States. Manufacturing capacity has been significantly increased primarily in Switzerland, resulting in dramatically reduced lead times.

What is an ODU connector?

ODU advanced connectors ensure a reliable transmission of power, signals, data and media for a variety of demanding applications including medical technology, military and security, eMobility, industrial electronics, and test and measurement.

How do you disconnect a LEMO connector?

The plug can be disengaged by grabbing the plug’s outer shell and doing a single straight pull. This first disengages the latches (inside the plug) and then withdraws the plug from the receptacle.
