LEMO Connectors for Uncrewed Vehicles

LEMO Connectors for uncrewed vehicles are small-footprint, rugged, and lightweight aluminium connectors that withstand high vibrations meeting MIL-spec requirements.  When mated, the LEMO connectors are watertight for up to two meters for fifteen hours, achieving IP6x ratings. These connectors are capable of exhibiting 10-7mbar.l/sec air leakage, 30g vibrations, and work under harsh environments of -55°C outside temperatures. Featured series include M Series, B Series, K Series, F Series, and T Series. These connectors are used for high-end interconnection systems for autonomous vehicles, civil aircraft, commercial and military aviation, drones, satellites, space launchers, and space stations.
