Precision Contacts
The unique design of LEMO’s contacts provide for a secure, reliable connection in any environment.
All contacts, male and female, are machined from solid before being plated with nickel and then gold. The female contacts are designed to eliminate misalignment during mating and to ensure that, when mated, a constant even force is maintained on the male contact.
These features provide for a long operational use by combining an extremely high level of mechanical reliability with low electrical resistance.

Technical description
The secure reliable electromechanical connection achieved
with LEMO female cylindrical contacts is mainly due to
two important design features :
1. Prod proof entry on the mating side which ensures perfect
concentric mating even with carelessly handled
connectors.
2. The pressure spring, with good elasticity, maintains a
constant even force on the male contact when mated. The
leading edge of the pressure spring preserves the surface
treatment (gold-plated) and prevents undue wear.
