High-performance circular connectors for demanding applications

Lane Electronics has announced it can readily supply customer-specified MIL-C-26482 circular connectors. The LMH Series connectors are designed specifically to meet the requirements of MIL-C-26482 Series 1 and Patt 105 and have also been approved to IECQ-CECC spec BS/CECC 75201-003 and BS 9522 F0017 for the most demanding applications. According to Lane Electronics' managing director Simon Hammerton, one or two UK suppliers are promoting circular connectors designed to perform to MIL-C-26482 Series 1 - "While I have no doubt that these connectors are designed to comply with this tough standard, customers need to be sure that they are produced with full traceability on all materials and manufactured and supplied from AS9100, ISO 9001:2008 and QPL qualified companies like Lane," said Simon Hammerton. Lane Electronics can supply standard LMH series connectors from stock in a variety of shell sizes and styles as well as several contact arrangements. In addition, they can be supplied as free shells with grounding fingers. Maximum current rating is 45A and peak working voltages can be as high as 1500V - DC or AC. Because Lane always maintains a huge inventory of shell styles, contacts and accessories the company can assemble to specific requirements and normally deliver within 48 hours. All versions can be specified in a variety of RoHS compliant finishes and can incorporate a wide selection of accessories including J sealing glands and protective caps, says the company.
