Leadwires and connection

Ortofon supplies leadwires with the headshell.

Ortofon cartridge terminal pins are 1.2 mm in diameter and Ortofon headshell pins are 1.0 mm.

The LH-6000 has a mounting distance of 36.6 mm - 42.4 mm. It is 47.5 mm long and 19.1 mm wide. Ortofon publishes a headshell dimensions chart on its product page, which makes it easier to mount and align the cartridge and tonearm correctly.
