LEMO’s Push-Pull Self-Latching System Connectors

LEMO's Push-Pull self-latching connectors are designed for quick connection changes, taking just a few seconds. In critical applications like medical technology, this feature can be crucial in emergencies.

Specifications

  • Engaging: The connector mates when the plug is simply pushed into the receptacle.
  • Latched: Once latched, the connection is secure and cannot be disengaged by pulling on the cable or any component except the outer release sleeve.
  • Disengaging: The connector is disengaged by pulling on the outer release sleeve, which releases the latches and allows the plug to be withdrawn.

Key Features

  • Quick and easy unlocking by pulling the cable
  • Change connections in seconds
  • Reliable data transmission
  • Maximum operating reliability
  • Mechanical and optical keying

The LEMO connector, known for its effectiveness, is widely used across various industries. To mate the connectors, align the red indicator dots and push the cables together. The connection locks into place and won't release by twisting or pulling any component other than the outer release sleeve. To disengage, pull on the outer release sleeve, which releases the latch and withdraws the plug.

Important Usage Notes

  • To release, grab the knurled release and pull it back.
  • Do not pull the cables apart without using the release, as this can damage both the cable and the sensor.
  • Twisting the connector instead of pulling can also damage the equipment.

LEMO’s original Push-Pull self-latching system has been an industry standard for over 75 years, known for its quick and secure mating system, capable of thousands of mating cycles. The ‘chocolate bar pattern’ is a recognized symbol of the brand.
