Connectors suit autosport applications

Lemo manufactures high quality, ruggedised push-pull connectors and cable harness systems widely used in autosport applications.

Lemo manufactures high quality, ruggedised push-pull connectors and cable harness systems.

These are extensively employed in on-car applications such as data logging, telemetry, communications and video, as well as other applications in test and measurement, such as in crash tests, engine testing and in wind tunnels.

The modular design of the connector system permits the selection of characteristics to suit most requirements, and the small ruggedised construction provides considerable opportunities for weight and space reduction, whilst still providing high performance signal transmission.

Contact types include multipole, coaxial, triaxial, high voltage and thermocouple.

A range of fibre optic (single-mode and multimode) connector options in single-fibre, multifibre and hybrid electro-optic configurations further enhances the choices for customers.

A cable harness design and manufacturing service provides complete interconnection system solutions, including specialised fibre optic systems, which are fully tested using advanced test equipment.

The F series connector was originally developed to meet the demanding environment of the Motor racing industry, and evolved from a market survey of the top F1 teams.

The new tiny FF connector is the smallest in this family of connectors, all of which provide real opportunities to significantly reduce space requirements of electronic enclosures.

The range has been subjected to the MIL Gunfire test and the FF connector is probably the world's smallest ruggedised connector.
