Circular connectors ruggedised for use in extreme industrial applications

Weald Electronics announces the availability of the LMG Heavy Duty range of circular connectors. Available from Lane Electronics, the connectors are designed for use in harsh or hazardous environments such as geophysical, mining, marine and petrochemical applications and other heavy industrial applications where key priorities are high resistance to vibration and the ingress of liquids, combined with very rugged construction.

LMG Heavy Duty circular connectors are built around a rugged brass or stainless-steel shell, are environmentally sealed from IP67 to IP69K and can come as standard with 6 contact arrangements with from 2 to 19 contacts. Two connector types are available, threaded coupling in brass only, and staple coupling in brass or stainless-steel construction. The rugged sealed design is very robust and is able to withstand high levels of shock and vibration in demanding operational environments.

Accessories available include a backshell outlet accessory set for screened and unscreened multicore cable or cables with an inner collective screen, protective caps, staples and assembly spanners.

The conventional screw coupling versions offer a coarse ribbed coupling nut that can be easily gripped with protective gloves, while the staple coupling versions work in a similar way to typical hydraulic connectors where a large metal staple is used to quickly lock and secure the connectors together when mated. The staple provides a very quick coupling (often secured with a hammer) and it can easily be seen whether locked or not, even under adverse conditions.
