Sreada Lemo- and Hirose-compatible push-pull connectors

Sreada connectors offer a Lemo- and Hirose-compatible, self-latching, push-pull mechanism at an affordable price point. Once mated, this style of connector is secure and will not be unmated by vibration or an axial pulling force on the cable.

Lemo- and Hirose-style connectors are often selected for their push-pull coupling mechanism which allows quick, easy mating and unmating. The connectors are precision-engineered, small-format, low-current, multipole, push-pull connectors. The lower price of Sreada versions is said to make them more cost effective for use in general industry as well as traditional areas such as on medical and test equipment.

Mating cycle testing of Sreada connectors with their standard gold plate thickness has shown no serious wear after 5000 cycles. The standard gold thickness for all Sreada contacts is 0.1532 μm; however, 0.5 or 1.0 μm thicknesses (similar to Lemo) are available on request.

There are two main series. The SRD001 connectors are the Sreada equivalent of Lemo push-pull connectors which are suitable for applications requiring frequent/rapid connections and separations such as general electronics, instrumentation, video processing, medical and other equipment.

The SRD002 connectors are equivalent to the Hirose HR10-series. This series has a lower profile in comparison to the Lemo-style SRD001-series and has a five key-way design. They are often used in applications such as general electronics, instrumentation, video processing, medical and other equipment.
