Dust caps for Lemo power socket

[Donald MJ Anderson]

I have bnc dust caps - usb and hdmi dust caps but I can`t find anything to cover the Lemos on my gear.

Does anyone know of anything?

Thanks

When needed I use electrical tape.

Thanks phil. Was just wondering if there is a more attractive solution. The usb and hdmi caps work nice and clean and satisfy the little OCD I have.

There are indeed LEMO dust caps. Just need to get the right size you need.

Donald,
Are you referring to the cable end or the socket side?

Cables are easy. Connector is typically an OB 302.
I believe Mouser Electronics would be a good start.

Lemo plug caps (for the end of your cables):

00-size (Red's CNTRL and SYNC port size)
BFG.00.100.PCSG (grey thermoplastic)
BFG.00.100.PCSN (black thermoplastic)

0B-size (Arri/Teradek 2-pin power port size)
BFG.0B.100.PCSG (grey thermoplastic)
BFG.0B.100.PCSN (black thermoplastic)
BFG.0K.100.NAS (nickel-plated brass)

Lemo port caps ("blanking" caps to cover your device ports):

00-size (Red's CNTRL and SYNC port size)
BRA.00.200.PCSG (grey thermoplastic)
BRA.00.200.PCSN (black thermoplastic)
BRE.00.200.NAS (nickel-plated brass)

0B-size (Arri/Teradek 2-pin power port size)
BRA.0B.200.PCSG (grey thermoplastic)
BRA.0B.200.PCSN (black thermoplastic)
BRE.0S.200.NAS (nickel-plated brass)
BRE.0K.200.NAS (nickel-plated brass, different style)

Instead of BRA and BRE in the codes above, you can also look up BRD and BRF respectively. These varieties are for "free" sockets (i.e. non-panel, in-wire) and the only difference is the end of the lanyard is for looping around a wire rather than screwing down to a panel.

A bunch of these are currently in stock at mouser.com ... ranging from approx $12 to $19 each.

Related -- what do people use to cover the exposed display pins on red DSMC 2 bodies? I know electrical tape is one option, but also looking for something more robust/elegant.
