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.

En muchas operaciones de rescate, cada segundo cuenta cuando se trata de salvar la vida de un paciente. Para garantizar que el sistema de soporte cardiopulmonar móvil de Getinge, Cardiohelp, se pueda activar de forma rápida y fácil, la tecnología tiene que ser fiable y sencilla. Además, los componentes deben ser fáciles de limpiar y lo suficientemente robustos para impedir que los agresivos agentes de limpieza médicos los dañen.

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.

Para sus magnetómetros, los ingenieros de diseño de SENSYS buscaban un conector ultrarresistente idóneo para el uso continuo sobre el terreno y sin las limitaciones de los conectores para uso militar (MIL). El Fischer LP360™ de “conectar y usar” satisfacía todos sus requisitos: fácil de manipular, imposible de usar erróneamente, robusto frente al viento y las inclemencias del tiempo, fácil de limpiar y no magnético.

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.

El conector de un canal óptico Fischer FiberOptic FO1 cuenta actualmente con sellado IP68 para 2 m/24 h. Eso es lo que pone en la documentación. No obstante, después de inspeccionarlo, el equipo de Strategic Robotic Systems (SRS) creía que podía dar más de sí para su revolucionario vehículo submarino no tripulado (UUV) FUSION, que funciona a 300 m bajo la superficie. Y estaban en lo cierto.

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.

El innovador esterilizador SterOx System de SteriLux utiliza conectores Fischer Core Series por su hermeticidad e idoneidad para aplicaciones de 240 V.

Ahora más que nunca, una conectividad fiable es crítica para aplicaciones de intervención y cirugía, para tecnologías de diagnóstico e imagen, y para monitorización y tratamiento.
