Connector & Cable Assembly Product Center

What Connector & Cable Assembly Product Center are designed to solve

The best result comes from matching the connector and cable to the complete system—not selecting by diameter or appearance alone. This page organizes the decisions an engineer, buyer or system integrator needs to make before requesting a drawing or quotation.

LMConn groups compatible formats by locking method, interface size, contact arrangement, installation method and cable construction. This makes it possible to compare standard options while keeping project-specific details such as pin mapping, cable length, labels and validation requirements under controlled revision.

Catalog-derived parameters with original LMConn visuals

The following technical values are taken from the supplied source manuals rather than inferred from general connector practice. The accompanying image is an original LMConn presentation visual and is not a model-specific engineering drawing. Family-level data summarizes the catalog; ordering dimensions and electrical limits must still be checked against the exact model row and contact layout.

Product appearance varies by shell size, contact layout, mounting and cable configuration. Request the current model drawing and approved sample for final verification.

Engineering selection guide

1. Start with the equipment interface and required mating cycle. Record the requirement in the interface-control drawing or RFQ so it can be verified.
2. Confirm voltage, current, signal type and shielding. Record the requirement in the interface-control drawing or RFQ so it can be verified.
3. Define ingress protection at the mated interface. Record the requirement in the interface-control drawing or RFQ so it can be verified.
4. Select cable mount, panel mount or PCB termination. Record the requirement in the interface-control drawing or RFQ so it can be verified.
5. Validate contact layout, keying and cable outside diameter. Record the requirement in the interface-control drawing or RFQ so it can be verified.

Information that controls the design

Important: Ratings differ by exact part number, contact layout, cable and assembly condition. Values shown on a family page are selection guidance, not a substitute for the approved product drawing and datasheet.

Typical applications and design priorities

Industrial automation

For industrial automation, engineers normally prioritize connection security, routing space and service access. Document the mating part and operating conditions so the connector, cable and termination can be evaluated as one system.

Machine vision

For machine vision, engineers normally prioritize signal integrity, environmental protection and repeatable installation. Document the mating part and operating conditions so the connector, cable and termination can be evaluated as one system.

Robotics

For robotics, engineers normally prioritize connection security, routing space and service access. Document the mating part and operating conditions so the connector, cable and termination can be evaluated as one system.

Test and measurement

For test and measurement, engineers normally prioritize signal integrity, environmental protection and repeatable installation. Document the mating part and operating conditions so the connector, cable and termination can be evaluated as one system.

Medical equipment integration

For medical equipment integration, engineers normally prioritize connection security, routing space and service access. Document the mating part and operating conditions so the connector, cable and termination can be evaluated as one system.

How to compare candidate products

Begin with non-negotiable interface requirements, then compare environmental and assembly details. Do not use a single headline rating as the sole decision. A suitable candidate should match the mating geometry, contact map, electrical load, cable construction, mounting envelope and maintenance method.

For replacement projects, send photographs only as supporting information. Measurements, existing part numbers, panel cutouts and pin assignments are needed because many circular connectors have similar external shapes. For new designs, reserve space for the connector body, coupling action, minimum cable bend radius and an operator’s hand or assembly tool.

RFQ checklist

• Target quantity, prototype quantity and annual demand.
• Connector family, mating component or interface drawing.
• Contact count, gender, coding, keying and pin assignment.
• Voltage, current, signal type, network protocol and shield strategy.
• Mounting method, panel thickness and available installation space.
• Cable type, length, conductor size, flex requirements and jacket material.
• Ingress protection, temperature, vibration and chemical exposure.
• Required tests, labeling, documentation and packaging.
