LMHC Connector Range (Under Development)

This range of miniature bayonet connectors is designed to perform to the requirements of VG 95328 & MIL-C-26482 Series 1. The range comprises 9 shell sizes and 24 shell styles. Configuration of contacts varies from 3 to 61, spread across the nine shell sizes.
LMHC Basic Construction
Connector shells are manufactured from aluminium alloy. The standard shell has a high resistance to corrosion with an olive drab chromate conversion over cadmium plate finish. Inserts are of polychloroprene, compounded to a WEALD specification. Operating temperature range is -55ºC to +125ºC. The connectors have gold plated, removable, crimp type contacts.
EMC Screening
To satisfy electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) requirements, free shells can be fitted with grounding
fingers.
Fixed & free shells can be fitted with accessories for screened cable terminations.
Polarisation
To avoid mis-mating with similar connectors which may be adjacently mounted, LMHC connectors may be polarised thus:
a) Angular Disposition of the Inserts within the Shell providing up to four different orientations other than Normal (N). These are designated W, X, Y, Z. See Table on page 9 of catalogue for variations available in each planform.
b) The Position of Shell Keys and Keyways providing up to four different polarisations other than normal (N). These are designated B, C, E, F (see page 10). With these variations, inserts can be supplied only with the Normal (N) position.
