430A Connector

Lemo is accommodating cables from 10mm2 (AWG 8) to 50mm2 (AWG 1) and currents up to 430A in high-power additions to its M-series of connectors.

There are uni-pole and multi-pole parts for single three-phase requirements.

“These configurations were developed for high power distribution of electronic devices and electric drive vehicles,” according to the company. “They are suited to the most demanding environmental conditions and mission-critical solutions.”

The connectors have three quarter turn ratcheted retaining rings offering 360° EMC shielding with operation over -55°C to 200°C.

IP68 mated sealing and unmated IP68 sealing are options, as are housings made of brass for 1,000 hour salt fog resistance.

There is blind mating, keying and colour coding, with a reverse gender option. The parts are scoop-proof and have IP2x finger protection as well as resistance to oil and fuel.

Testing is to MIL-STD-810F, and there is a threaded option for MIL-DTL-38999M backshells.

The company is aiming its connectors at robotics, motorsport, defence (they are gunfire vibration rated), aerospace and drones.
