Combining lightweight construction, high contact density and ergonomic design, the REDEL SP Series now delivers superior water and dust protection without compromising flexibility or reliability.

The REDEL SP Series features a patented internal Push-Pull latching system, ensuring secure, ergonomic connections that are easy to mate and clean. With up to 22 contacts in a compact Ø15.5 mm footprint, designers can achieve high-density connectivity even in tight spaces.

Constructed from FDA-certified PPSU, these connectors are five times lighter than steel yet extremely durable and compatible with repeated sterilisation, steam and ETO processes. IP68 sealing (2 m / 2 h when mated) protects sensitive electronics from moisture and dust, while 15kV ESD resistance safeguards critical signals.

Achieving a fully sealed IP68 solution requires advanced cable solutions and expert assembly. LEMO’s custom BioCompatic medical-grade cables offer flexibility, biocompatibility, sterilisation resistance and signal integrity. Combined with its cable clamping technology, LEMO deliver robust, repeatable, regulation-compliant assemblies that simplify installation while ensuring safety. ISO 13485–certified manufacturing provides plug-and-play harnesses that merge connector reliability with expert cable assembly for long-term performance.
