MA-100 Backpack (5-pin LEMO - 004 connector option) |
||
The MA-100 system uses a 5-pin LEMO p/n FGG.0B.305.CL.AD.31.Z plug with a GMA.0B.030.DN bend relief for all EMG and event switch connections. The 0B LEMO connectors are 9.5mm in diameter and are identified with "LEMO FGG.0B" stamped by the red key mark - note that all LEMO connections are numbered CCW. |

MA-300 Backpack (Harwin - 001 connector option) |
||
The first generation MA-300 backpacks use a 6-pin "Harwin" connector that is molded onto the cable during manufacture for all backpack signal connections. The cable and HARWIN connector form one unit and can not be seperated. Later MA-300 backpacks use a 4 pin connector - either BINDER or LEMO style. |

MA-300 Backpack (Binder - 002 connector option) |
||
![]() |
The current MA-300 backpack use either a 4-pin plastic Binder or metal LEMO connector (below) for all analog signals. All Binder connections are numbered CW when viewed from the solder end. The event signals always use an 0B LEMO connector regardless of the analog connection option. The original MA-300 backback used a HARWIN connector (above). |
