Benötigen Sie leichte Rundsteckverbinder mit hoher Signaldichte für raue Umgebungsbedingungen? Temperaturen von -55 °C bis +150 °C, Salzsprühnebeltest +1000 h, tauchfähig bis in 120 m Tiefe und mehr!

Die Schuhe von VRaktion haben vorne und hinten Lasersensoren, die dem Träger über Bluetooth eine Warnung auf das Smartphone oder die Smartwatch senden, sollte sich dieser einem Hindernis nähern. Die Technik im Schuh wird über einen leistungsstarken Akku mit Energie versorgt. Um diesen aufzuladen, werden Steckverbinder der Fischer Freedom™ Serie genutzt.

How can you choose the right connectors to operate reliably in extreme cold or extreme heat? Fischer Connectors’ standard and customized connectivity solutions are specially designed to withstand extreme temperatures, so won’t let your equipment down.

While it's advisable to cap your connectors when not in use, our IP68 and hermetic receptacles are sealed against water entering your device from the front – should you happen to forget caps.

In the ‘International Design Engineer’ magazine, Fischer Connectors’ CTO shares his insights on the growing demands on connectivity solutions for robotic applications – which are extremely diverse. The goal is to make components and applications as durable, resilient and robust as possible, whether the robot is permanently installed in a production hall or moves around autonomously outdoors, in the air or underwater.

When designing your equipment, choosing the right connectivity solutions with the right type of sealing early in the process is critical for the commercial success and durability of your product. So make informed decisions during your connectivity design project: guaranteeing extreme sealing allows you to maximize reliability and reduce risks.

The need for lighter and smaller devices, which still guarantee optimal performance and reliability, keeps pushing innovation forward in connectivity solutions. Our newly launched products push innovation in miniaturization to the next level of SWaP (Size, Weight & Power), cable management and data transmission.

Bei Rettungseinsätzen kommt es häufig auf jede Sekunde an, um das Leben eines Patienten zu retten. Damit das mobile Herz-Lungen-Unterstützungssystem Cardiohelp schnell und einfach einsatzbereit ist, muss die Technik zuverlässig und unkompliziert sein. Darüber hinaus müssen die Komponenten einfach zu reinigen und robust genug sein, damit aggressive medizinische Reinigungsmittel keinen Schaden anrichten.

A “sterile” hospital environment is taken for granted, but the processes and policies behind how all hospital items are sterilized is the result of a specific global set of standards.

In ConnectorSupplier’s ‘2020 Data Connectivity eBook’, Hassan Fadli from Fischer Connectors shares his perspectives on engineers’ need for data speed. Wired connections still transport more data faster than wireless, so the hunt for faster data transmission without interference continues to drive innovation in connectors, traditional copper cabling, and fiber optics.

As his company prepares to manage the next generation of data, David Ptacek, Director of Sales for Fischer Connectors in the Americas, says data reliability and data speed are the two most important qualities his customers look for in the vital world of ruggedized connectors. An interview with the expert.

Die Entwicklungsingenieure von SENSYS suchten für ihre Magnetometer nach einem ultra-robusten Steckverbinder, der sich für den ständigen Feldeinsatz eignet, jedoch nicht die Einschränkungen eines militärischen Steckverbinders (gemäss MIL-Standards) aufweist. Der Fischer LP360™ mit Plug & Use Technologie erfüllte all ihre besonderen Anforderungen: Er ist einfach zu handhaben bei gleichzeitigem Ausschluss von Fehlanwendungen, wind- und wetterbeständig, einfach zu reinigen und nicht magnetisch.

Do you want your connectors to take up less space and handle a broader range of functions? The most common hybrid combination being sought out by the engineering community is power and signal, and whether it’s all copper or a copper/fiber hybrid solution depends specifically on how much data needs to get through the cable. A few tips from the expert.

When you need a waterproof connector, the choice may not be as straightforward as just choosing an IP68-sealed solution. IP68 ratings can differ – for some, IP68 rated can mean as little as 1 meter for 15 minutes. Fischer Connectors’ solutions offer much higher IP68 sealing levels. And this is a decision-making factor for our customers designing harsh-environment connectivity.

Der Steckverbinder FO1 aus der Fischer FiberOptic Serie ist spezifiziert bis IP68 (2 Meter während 24 Stunden) dicht. Nach einem umfassenden Augenschein war das Team von Strategic Robotic Systems (SRS) jedoch der Ansicht, er könne im revolutionären unbemannten Unterwasserfahrzeug (UUV) FUSION noch mehr leisten und in 300m unter der Wasseroberfläche eingesetzt werden. Es sollte Recht behalten.

The mating cycle rating is a key characteristic to consider for rugged connectors. Failing to select a mating cycle rating sufficient for your application could result in a product that is unreliable, short-lived and more costly in the long run… Discover how Fischer Connectors can help extend the potential life span of your devices.

Can you easily mate your connector even if you can’t see it? Don’t let lack of visibility slow you down. Fischer Connectors’ push-pull locking system is designed to reduce the time it takes to mate and unmate your devices. Take the Fischer UltiMate™ and Fischer Freedom™ Series, for example.

The connectors of the Fischer Core Plastic Series are compatible with autoclave, Cidex, EtO, gamma radiation, Steris, and Sterrad sterilization processes, and have been integrated into FDA-approved medical devices. These easy-to-use, lightweight and durable connectors are also ideal for industrial, instrumentation, and food and pharmaceutical processing applications.

SteriLux setzt bei seinem innovativen Sterilisator SterOx System auf die Steckverbinder der Fischer Core Serie, da diese luftdicht und für 240 Volt Geräte geeignet sind.

Zuverlässige Verbindungstechnik ist heute für Anwendungen in den Bereichen Interventionen & Chirurgie/Diagnostik & Bildgebung/Überwachung & Therapeutik von grösserer Bedeutung als je zuvor.
