Product Offering
LEMO has been producing the highest quality push-pull electronic, fiber optic, and hybrid connectors since the technology was first introduced in the early 1950s. Over the past half-century, design engineers around the world have turned to LEMO whenever they’ve needed a new solution in high-performance circular connectors.
LEMO was founded in 1946, originally focused on manufacturing contacts (pins) made of noble and rare metals. Since the breakthrough of the LEMO push-pull technology in 1957, LEMO has grown throughout Europe and the US. LEMO USA began in 1967 in Northern California and has since developed more than 75,000 products used in applications from satellites to medical emergency rooms.
