LEMO LAUNCHES RUGGED, MINIATURE OPTIMA D SERIES CONNECTORS FOR MISSION-CRITICAL SYSTEMS

LEMO introduces the OPTIMA D Series, a compact and rugged connector platform engineered for performance in the most demanding environments. Purpose-built for defense, aerospace, and mission-critical systems, the new series combines miniaturized form factors with military-grade reliability.

KEY FEATURES: RUGGED, COMPACT, AND CONFIGURABLE

Engineered to meet the evolving needs of tactical communications, UAVs, avionics, and soldier-worn equipment, the OPTIMA D Series offers:

• IP68 sealing (20m/2h) – even when unmated

• MIL-STD-810H compliance – resistant to shock, vibration, and extreme environmental stress

• Push-Pull and Break-Away latching – for secure, blind mating in high-pressure scenarios

• Modular design with robust 5-way keying – to support rapid deployment and error-free connections

• Multiple configuration options – including high-speed (USB, Ethernet), multipole, and coaxial

OPTIMIZED FOR INTEGRATION

With a compact, overmolded design that’s 25% shorter than standard LEMO connectors, the OPTIMA D Series enables space-constrained integration without compromising signal integrity or ruggedness. Its uniform PCB height and flush-mounting options streamline system architecture, making it a go-to choice for OEMs developing compact, durable platforms.

END-TO-END CABLE ASSEMBLY SERVICES

To support rapid and secure integration, LEMO offers full cable assembly services:

• Custom overmolding

• Complex harness design

• Private labeling

• Certified production: IPC-620, ISO 9001, AS9100, and MIL-STD-810
