Weald Electronics launch LM200 MICRO CONNECTOR series

Weald Electronics, a major UK manufacturer of electrical connectors and accessories, has rapidly responded to the news that ITW McMurdo have decided to make their Micronector 200 series of 2mm pitch connectors obsolete. Weald is now manufacturing a direct equivalent to this connector series providing a seamless continuity of supply. The Weald LM200 MICRO CONNECTOR

series is technically and dimensionally identical to the former ITW McMurdo connectors and is completely back compatible with any existing ITW McMurdo Micronector 200 connectors, allowing users to continue to manufacture and support existing and new equipment using this new drop-in alternative Weald LM200 range.

The WEALD LM200 will be available from the leading franchised distributor Lane Electronics who still have limited availability of the ITW Micronector 200 series. Customers are being advised to accommodate the Weald LM200 series as quickly as possible to maintain continuity of supply. Availability and pricing for the new Weald LM200 MICRO CONNECTOR product will be identical to the ITW component and existing part numbers will change only slightly to reflect the new supply.

An introduction to the new Weald LM200 MICRO CONNECTOR series with full technical catalogue information is now available on line and a

comprehensive cross-reference service has been provided for customer’s convenience.

Nick Wheeler, sales director of Lane Electronics says “We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the ITW McMurdo Micronector 200 series being made obsolete and appreciate our customers cooperation in accommodating our direct-alternative solution. We will be happy to talk to any customers who may require any additional information to make this change to the new Weald LM200 MICRO CONNECTOR seamless”.
