Counterfeit statement

Counterfeiting is a serious problem and a growing concern for the global market and especially for the electronic components industry. While the appearance and packaging can be convincing, the products themselves are often sub-standard and may present severe safety hazards that can cause accidents and ultimately cost lives. Counterfeit electrical products do not comply with performance and safety specifications; they are not tested nor approved.

LEMO is committed to taking appropriate actions to combat the adverse impacts caused by counterfeit goods. Key elements in tackling product counterfeiting include protecting our assets legally and technologically. Stricter testing and quality-control protocols as well as improved communication throughout the supply chain.

counterfeit how to recognize a LEMO connector

To recognize a genuine LEMO product, look for the following characteristics:

Firstly, the “LEMO” or “Redel” trademark or logo is always engraved on the connector.
Secondly, the red dot is painted and not engraved.
Furthermore, the number of chocolate blocks are sometimes different (normally 6).
Finally, the overall high-quality look of fake products is usually poor.

If you have any doubts about the authenticity of a product, please contact us.

In all cases, we recommend that our customers acquire our products only through our official subsidiaries and distributors.

Fake LEMO, real trouble

Compared with other areas of technology, the connector industry is still relatively unaffected by counterfeiting. However, LEMO has seen an increase in the number of cases and is acting accordingly, to protect its customers’ equipment as well as its own reputation.
