ROHNERT PARK, Calif. – LEMO USA, Inc. in Rohnert Park, Calif., is introducing the OPTIMA D series compact and rugged power and data connectors for defense, aerospace, and mission-critical systems.
The OPTIMA D connectors combine miniaturized form factors with military-grade reliability in tactical communications, uncrewed aircraft, avionics, and soldier-worn equipment.
The OPTIMA D series offers IP68 sealing even when unmated; MIL-STD-810H compliance for shock, vibration, and extreme environmental stress; push-pull and break-away latching for secure, blind mating in high-pressure scenarios; modular design with 5-way keying to support rapid deployment and error-free connections; and several configuration options including high-speed USB and Ethernet, multipole, and coaxial.
Overmolded design
These rugged connectors offer an overmolded design that’s 25 percent shorter than standard LEMO connectors, the OPTIMA D series enables space-constrained integration without compromising signal integrity or ruggedness.
It offers uniform circuit board height and flush-mounting options; custom overmolding; complex harness design; private labeling; and certified production to IPC-620, ISO 9001, AS9100, and MIL-STD-810.
