PUSH-PULL CONNECTOR IDEAL FOR OUTDOOR USE

LEMO K-Series connectors have been specifically designed for outdoor applications. They include an inner sleeve and two seals to prevent penetration of solids or liquids into the housing, which is formed by the plug, free socket, fixed socket or coupler. All models of this series are waterproof and watertight when mated to give a protection index of IP68 as per IEC 60529 standard (in mated condition), when correctly assembled to an appropriate cable (IP66 in unmated condition). PEI-Genesis builds LEMO K-Series connectors from component parts and can configure thousands of unique connectors.
