The global connectivity solution provider Fischer Connectors has extended its flagship series of ultra-rugged and harsh-environment connectors with two new products: the Fischer UltiMate 80, a field-ready NATO STANAG 4695-compatible connector offering unparalleled functionality and ruggedness in comparison with similar harsh-environment quick-release connectors; and the standard Fischer UltiMate connector now
available in size 15 with various pin layouts of up to 27 signal and power contacts.
Intermateable with other NATO STANAG 4695 connectors, the field-ready Fischer UltiMate 80 connector comes in two layouts featuring 6 or 7 signal and power contacts (size 08) with up to AWG 22. Engineered in Switzerland, it offers an ultra-rugged, lightweight and IP68-sealed connectivity solution for any harsh environment, especially for defense and security applications and soldier modernization programs. Its design is exceptionally rugged by any market standards and compliant with MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-202, providing environmental and mechanical performance and endurance that outperform by far other suppliers’ similar connectors:
- Ruggedness: high resistance to corrosion (500h salt mist), up to 10,000 mating cycles for the plug / 5,000 for the receptacle, random vibration 7.7 Grms, shock resistant (100 G), cable bending resistance (±90° for 5000 cycles), temperature (-55 ° to 135 °C), triple key coding
- Light weight: housing material in aluminum: 2,7 g
- Environmental sealing: connector Ingress Protection mated and unmated: IP68 sealing 2m/24h
The Fischer UltiMate 80 connector comes as a pre-cabled plug, and a pre-cabled and/or panel receptacle.
As for the new Fischer UltiMate connector in size 15, it meets special power and high-speed data requirements for further design and technology developments with various contact layouts (2, 4, 8, 4+12 or 27 signal and power contacts).
These new connectors are part of the rugged, compact, and lightweight Fischer UltiMate Series used to ruggedize technology for field operations in extreme environments. Environmentally sealed to resist extreme shocks and vibrations, these durable and reliable connectors are ideal to interconnect devices, equipment, hubs and embedded electronic systems where weight matters, for example in defense and security, industrial, instrumentation, marine and underwater, as well as robotics and unmanned vehicles.
The Fischer UltiMate connectors’ resin-sealed contact block offers extreme sealing (up to IP68 / IP69 even unmated, gastight, CBRN decontamination), high shock and vibration resistance, as well as superior cable resistance in terms of traction.
