A Member of The Lodge Group

Formed in 1976 following the purchase of the MkIV Range from Plessey Connectors, Weald Electronics Ltd has since developed several other ranges of Circular and Military Connectors and is now a leading connector supplier to a wide range of industries.

Now employing thirty plus people, Weald Electronics has purpose-built premises affording an area of 1,176.4 square metres.

Since formation, Weald Electronics has a strong commitment to quality with (various) Approvals (as shown below) and some ranges fully approved to IECE.CECC specifications. To enable those Approvals to be maintained, Weald Electronics has a fully-equipped Test laboratory.

Simon Hammerton, the Managing Director of Weald Electronics, is justifiably proud of the company and welcomes visits by customers, but by appointment please! Don't miss the opportunity to witness your connectors being assembled and tested.

RoHS News Flash - Compliant Drab Olive Finish

Weald Electronics proudly announce the first commercially available RoHS compliant olive drab colour passivation for Cadmium & Zinc Cobalt finished Connectors. Developed entirely in-house by Weald, this independently tested RoHS compliant olive drab finish is now available to order across a wide selection of our circular and military connector ranges, including LMH/LMHF, LMG, LMF, LMV and LMA.

LMH/LMHF RANGES

• Eliminates internal bulkhead for mounting discrete filters.



• Eliminates connector to filter wiring thus reducing assembly time and costs



• Reduces space envelope required for filtering



• Reduces overall weight

Weald Electronics filtered connectors incorporate multilayer ceramic planar capacitor arrays to form the capacitive filtering elements. These enable a variety of filter configurations and values to be realised within a single filtered connector. For example, 'C', 'LC', and 'PI' section filtering can all be accommodated within a single shell, including capacitance values varying by more than a factor of 10, ground lines and unfiltered lines.

Connection to the planar array, both for contact to the pins and to the shell, is made through compliant mechanisms. Precision machines and photoetched components provide excellent mechanical and thermal stress relief arising from everyday use.

Compliant contacts between the connector pins and the ceramic relieve the stresses incurred as pins align to sockets during mating/demating cycles. They also provide excellent thermal stress relief from temperature shocks associated with soldering the contact tails. A compliant ground band further protects from stresses resulting from thermal cycling. This approach leads to excellent performance throughout the operational life of the connector.

Less robust design will suffer from a gradual continuous degradation in performance due to stress microcracking, which may go unnoticed early in the system's life.
