Purpose-built for defence, aerospace and mission-critical systems, the new series combines miniaturised form factors with military-grade reliability.
Engineered to meet the evolving needs of tactical communications, UAVs, avionics and soldier worn equipment, the OPTIMA D Series offers:
- IP68 sealing (20m/2h) – even when unmated
- MIL-STD-810H compliance – resistant to shock, vibration and extreme environmental stress

With a compact, overmoulded design that is 25% shorter than standard LEMO connectors, the OPTIMA D Series enables space-constrained integration without compromising signal integrity or ruggedness. Its uniform PCB height and flush-mounting options streamline system architecture, making it a go-to choice for OEMs developing compact, durable platforms.
To support rapid and secure integration, LEMO offers full cable assembly services:
- Custom overmolding
- Complex harness design
- Private labelling
