Hot news from MDM West: Smart connector from Lemo
As the Industrial Internet of Things continues to be one of the top points of discussion in any manufacturing setting, it was only a matter of time before a connector manufacturer launched a design ready to enter this data-driven world. This was the hot news at the Lemo booth this week in Anaheim, as the […]
How have miniature connectors evolved?
As systems and components become smaller and smaller while at the same time requiring greater efficiency and higher speeds, connector miniaturization has become the norm. And with industrial-grade connectors, maintaining reliability and power with compact designs is critical to safe, secure and long-lasting equipment. Meeting the needs of military and medical markets Industries driving this miniaturization […]
What are push-pull connectors?
Push-pull connectors are simply connectors that lock, providing a secure mating system in mission-critical applications. According to Steven Lassen, products & applications manager for LEMO USA Inc., they only require an axial force to engage and disengage, thus do not need a rotational force. Common applications include medical devices and equipment, military use on both […]

New MM connector
Major trends in connector development over the last few years are miniaturisation and increased contact density. System integrators in various markets, such as automotive, testing and aviation, are looking to increase the number of sensors and data acquisition means. Naturally this requires more connectors and cables in reduced space. LEMO is extending its range of […]
Making connections at MD&M West
When I took on this beat covering interconnect technologies, one of the first things I did was to try to find trade shows where a large number of connector companies exhibit. I found that at MD&M West last week, where I was able to meet with several connector companies, many of whom I’ve dealt with […]
