These connectorsare rated to withstand 5000 mating cycles, and areavailable in both crimped and soldered versions.LEMO connectorsRated at 5000 insertions•Operational from -50 C to + 200 C•Nickel / brass construction•Manufacturer website: www.lemo.com•Recommended part numbers:•Female panel connector• PEG.2K.308.CYMC75Male cable connector• FGG.2K.308.CYCC75ZFemale panel connector• PHG.2K.308.CYMC75ZIn order to use the LEMO connector onemust use the following pin out. Pins 4 and6 are “shifted”.
