NO NEED FOR EXPENSIVE PC BOARDS AND HARDWARE

LMD/LMS Modular Connectors were designed by Amphenol Pyle-National to provide flexibility in the assembly of wire harnesses that are used in instrumentation and avionic control environments. The design of the LMD Modular Connectors provides a rack and panel or cable to cable attachment. LMS Modular Connectors allow an in-line splice using the same modules.

Features

Design Features of LMD Connectors

• An LMD Connector is comprised of a housing, modules and contacts - each ordered separately, requiring assembly
• Lightweight housings are offered black thermoplastic
• 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

LMD Features and Options

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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Pin or socket modules may be intermixed in plug or receptacle housings.
