W - Underwater

The W series is designed for high hydrostatic pressure environments, for example for underwater applications to approx. 300 metres (5 to 60 bars depending on socket size). The W series with screw locking is field-proven, and constructed for extreme conditions such as long immersion in saltwater. Multiple keys allow for high contact density and prevent mis-mating. W series connectors are suitable for test and measurement applications and the oil and gas, nuclear, chemical, marine and aerospace industries. This series offers a large selection of insert configurations, a variety of sizes and models, and electromagnetic (EMC) shielding.

New multi coaxial model with High frequency performance

LEMO is thrilled to announce the expansion of its field-proven M Series with a new multi coaxial configuration, named LM.232, available in size LM with up to 12x coaxial contacts. These new plugs and fixed sockets have been specifically designed to satisfy the most stringent high frequency connection requirements under very demanding environmental conditions.This new insert configuration integrates 12x coaxial contacts type 0R (50 Ohm), allowing the transmission of high frequency data up to 26.5 GHz with a low Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). The coaxial contact is easy to mount, thanks to its crimp contact and retaining clip. It is designed to be terminated with flexible low-loss communication cable LMR-100A or MULTIFLEX 86.Typical applications are wireless network 5G wireless networks, radar systems, battlefield communications and UAV anti-drone technology.Thanks to its expertise and cable assembly capabilities, LEMO is at your disposal to assist you in providing complete interconnect solutions.
