introduction
This catalogue gives the complete description of LEMO M series connectors. M series connectors are lightweight triple-
start ratchet coupling type connectors designed for avionics, aerospace, military, security, motorsport and heavy duty
applications.
The LEMO manufacturing programme has been extended to almost 40 series divided into 7 product families with specific
mating and environmental characteristics. Each series includes a wide variety of plug, socket and coupler models, available
in contact configurations adapted to all round cables. Watertight models are also available. Since LEMO connectors are
perfectly screened and designed to guarantee very low resistance to shell electrical continuity, they are particularly adapted
to applications where electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is important.

M Series
The M Series connector offers a new innovative design for avionics, aerospace, military, security, motorsport and heavy
duty applications.
Made of high-strength aluminium, this connector is one of the lightest and most compact of the LEMO product line.
A one-grip ratchet screw system enables quick and secure coupling of the connectors. The arctic grip makes it easy to
manipulate the connector while wearing gloves or when the connector is located in a difficult to access area.
Features
– Ratchet-coupling mechanism
– Compact design for space savings
– Oil and fuel resistant
– 360° screening for full EMC shielding
– Colour coding / keying
– Scoop proof
– Threaded for MIL-DTL-38999L backshell
