Military, security and aerospace COTS connector solutions

LEMO M Series M Series micro-connectors LEMO M Series range of triple-start micro-connectors provide significant space savings in comparison to MIL 8999 Series III connectors, and are LEMO s smallest multi-pin, fully shielded, vibration-secure and sealed connectors available, offering a lightweight connection with high pin-count density, 60º EMC shielding protection, and LEMO rugged quality. Soldier and vehiclemounted equipment Communications UAV s/umv s Avionics and Aerospace LEMO M-Series SAVE UP TO 5% ON ENCLOSURE FLANGE TO PCB DEPTH MIL 8999 LEMO M-Series high-strength aluminium connectors incorporate a triple-start fast-locking ratchet mechanism for use in high vibration and harsh environments, providing significant size and weight advantages over MIL-8999 connectors and other micro circular connectors. Already selected for use on the FECU and a number of military and avionics applications, the M Series is continuing the excellent reputation of LEMO connectors for high quality and reliable interconnection solutions that meet customers requirements. Main features and benefits include: Triple-start thread ratchet coupling mechanism for fast (/ turn) & secure connection Small size with high contact density for significant space savings Multiple keys and keyways for ease of mating and security Short flange to pcb depth for greatly reduced enclosure sizes and cost savings Integral backshell, but with MIL backshell options if preferred Unique LEMO precision gold-plated contact system for exceptional performance and longterm reliability With power pin and reduced crimp barrel contacts, accommodates wire from 6 to AWG Designed for use in harsh environments, M Series connectors have been tested to the full range of MIL tests including vibration, gunfire, altitude, lightning, temperature, immersion,chemical and flammability, clearly demonstrating capability of the range to handle many aerospace, military and security applications. This catalogue provides a summary of the M Series range and accessories with comparisons to some popular MIL 8999 shell sizes to demonstrate the potential equipment savings that can be made by adopting the M Series. Note that this catalogue does not cover the whole M Series range and other housings are available some examples below. The full catalogue giving full details of the complete M Series range is available via our website www.lemo.co.uk The M Series has a wide range of shell design options to suit customer requirements. Variants include: In-line plugs (FM* & FG*) and sockets (PM* & PH*) Fixed sockets -front panel, back panel and bulkhead fixing Watertight pcb sockets when unmated Two coupling nut styles knurled and arctic grip Three cable fixing options metal tie-wrap or constant force spring clip, MIL backshell and overmoulding

Accessories Backshells A range of backshells have been specially designed to be fitted to the LEMO M Series connectors where customers require the additional benefits of a separate backshell note that the M Series has an integral backshell. The design is shorter than standard MIL spec adaptors in order to complement the space savings offered by the M Series. LEMO backshells are available in primary models straight, 5º and 90º and are manufactured as standard from the same lightweight high strength aluminium as the M Series. Other materials are available on request.the rear fixing channel is designed to take metal tie-wraps or spring clips, depending upon the customer s preference. A slotted option is available for termination of additional drain wires. The connector interface is to the MIL 8999 Series III and IV shell sizes and a range of cable entry diameters are offered. Part number structure is shown below (add M to the end of M Series part number for the correct interface).

The closing of microbands requires the use of a special tool to ensure sufficient tightening of the band, whereas the spring clips are manually applied and are contained by a the heatshrink boot. Microband tool A099 M Series Constant Force Spring Clips A range of constant force spring clips are available for use with M Series connectors, which permits repair of cable terminations without having to discard any of the existing braid shield system. When used in conjunction with LEMO heatshrink boots, a fully sealed termination is achieved. An additional benefit of the constant force spring isthat it provides excellent resistance to shock or vibration due to its self-tensioning properties.

Cable assembly LEMO UK offers a full cable assembly service from its modern facilities with fully trained technicians, and we pride ourselves on the quality of the terminations provided. CAD drawings are created for new assemblies and are fully structured on our system to provide appropriate controls & full traceability. Whilst our emphasis is naturally on the termination of LEMO connectors, we have extensive experience of connectors from other manufacturers. LEMO UK has the capability for termination of both copper and fibre optic cable assemblies. At LEMO every cable assembly is fully inspected to ensure it meets the required standard. In many instances the technical requirements for an assembly are the same for many different customers. For this reason a part numbering system for M Series standard cable assemblies has been created, where the specification is a text description based on DEF STAN 6- standard cables and standard pin-outs to match the connector. Variants according to customer requirements can be accommodated, though the part numbering will be different and will be generated at the time of an order. Short run cables can be made up to suit customer requirements.
