LMD and LMS Modular Connectors
for Rack & Panel or Cable Attachment
INTRODUCTION: FEATURES, BENEFITS, PERFORMANCE
LMD Modular Connectors
The LMD Connector Series was designed by Amphe-
nol Pyle-National to provide flexibility in the assembly
of wire harnesses that are used in instrumentation and
avionic control environments. The modular design of
the LMD provides rack and panel or cable to cable
attachment.

• An LMD Connector is comprised of a housing,
modules and contacts - each ordered separately,
requiring assembly
• Lightweight housings are offered in two materials
• standard black thermoplastic
• high performance composite material for EMI
shielding
• white thermoplastic nylon material with increased
solvent resistance
• Four standard modules are available with the
following contact arrangements: 1 #8, 4 #16, 9 #20,
16 #22
• Modules are available in sealed and unsealed
versions
• Linear module design may be used for rack and
panel or cable to cable applications
• Bussing modules available to allow for a plurality of
circuit network configurations without extra
hardware
• Diode modules provide a current protection system
for avionic instrumentation packages and eliminate
the need for dedicated PC boards and other
hardware
• Miniature relay modules can be added which
eliminate the need for printed circuit boards and
hardware

Supplementing the LMD connector family, Amphenol/Pyle
National offers the LMS in-line splice connector; a low cost
interconnects that incorporates the LMD modules and contacts.
• Standard LMS splice connector - 3-piece assembly with
module removal tool access
• Tool-less splice connector - 3-piece assembly with a
push-button module release for easy module removal
• Two-piece bracket available for panel mounting
• Used in wire harness, instrument and equipment
terminations and test points

LMD’s module options provide a mix of both active and
passive devices within one connector. The features and
options of this series describe the design flexibility in this
connector series:
• LMD Standard components are molded of a U/L rated
94VO flame retardant, light-weight thermoplastic material.
Alternate white nylon material (provides resistance to
industrial oils and solvents) is available; consult Amphenol
Aerospace for availability.
• The linear LMD connector may be used for rack and panel
or cable-to-cable applications.
• Plug and receptacle housings may be front or rear panel
mounted.
• Optional keying post provides six position keying
capability.
• The optional center jackscrew provides ease of mating
and unmating and insures high reliability under vibration.
• Cable strain reliefs are available for internal attachment.
(See page 107).
• Variety of module types. Sealed and unsealed modules
accept rear release #8, #16, #20 and #22 gauge contacts.
Bussing, diode and relay modules available. PC tail
contacts are also available; consult Amphenol Aerospace.
• A variety of contacts accept #8 through #28 AWG wire.
Commercially available automated crimp terminating
equipment may be used.
• Wired or unwired modules are rear inserted and held by
two retention tines. With the aid of a front release tool, the
modules are easily removed from the rear. (See pg. 107).
• Pin or socket modules may be intermixed in plug or
receptacle housings.
