tions and military.

some applications require a unique design. LEMO
can supply a connecting solution or the cable that
meets your specific requirements, including special
materials, personalized layout and cable assembly.
Precision modular connectors or cables
to suit your application
LEMO Push-Pull self-latching system
1. This self-latching system is
renowned worldwide for its easy
and quick mating and unmating
features. It provides absolute
security against vibration, shock or
pull on the cable.
2. 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.
4. When required, the connector
is disengaged by a single axial
pull on the outer shell release
sleeve. This first disengages the
latches and then withdraws the
plug from the socket.
Some good reasons to choose a LEMO connector

shock environments.

connectors enhances any front panel design and
contributes significantly to the appearance of your
product.

screened cables and most other connectors.
