LEMO wins the contest over MIL 38999 on space-saving and contact density with M Series range of triple-start micro connectors
For designers of man-portable, vehicle-mounted and aerospace electronics, the M-SERIES is the smallest multi-pin, fully shielded, vibration-secure and sealed connector available offering a lightweight, 'one-grip' screw-lock connection with high pin-count density, 360o EMI protection, and LEMO rugged quality.
For many of these military and aerospace applications, designers first seek MIL 38999 series connectors but when space is at a premium they need a smaller, higher contact density solution and the connector size becomes critical.
LEMO M-Series is made of high-strength aluminium and incorporates a triple start fast-locking ratchet mechanism, which enables quick and secure coupling of the connector for use in high vibration and harsh environments, the M Series connector is one of the lightest and most compact connectors of the LEMO product range providing a significant size and weight advantage over MIL-38999 connectors as well as over other micro circular connectors.
