lemo connectors

I am using a 3 pin lemo connector and I think that I am losing voltage with it.

I tested with a meter and found that 12V was coming out of my box, but when I connect the lemo, only 9.9V comes out. Is there something I am doing wrong?

What's connected on the load side of the connector?

Cheers

How familiar are you with the above ?

With the Lemo and load connected, measure the voltage from the supply side of each Lemo pin to the load side of the same pin. (That is, from pin 1 on the jack side to pin 1 on the plug side, pin 2 to 2, and so forth.)

If the voltage is more than 10 millivolts or so, then there is a problem with the connector. If not, then the connector is working fine.

As Graham pointed out, connecting a load to a supply will often cause the supply's voltage to drop. That is not the fault of the connector. If the effect is undesirable, then you need a supply that is rated for more current and/or one that is better regulated.
