Fischer Connectors to exhibit at DSEi 2007

Fischer's 102 series particularly suits demanding military applications, thanks to its compact size and high-density pin configuration, available with up to nine pins.

Operating temperatures range from –50 to 150degC and standard environmental sealing is IP68 when both halves are mated. In addition, the sealed socket benefits from hermetic sealing between the contacts so, if a cap or plug is misplaced, no leaking occurs into the back of the unit. Options include front and back panel mount sockets, direct PCB mounting versions, plus coaxial connectors, which, for example, are used in covert radios and rescue beacons.

Fischer generally supplies push-pull connectors, but specific applications – such as communications headsets where cables are likely to be snagged in undergrowth – require Clic-Loc connectors, whose locking mechanism is designed for quick release through a sharp tug.

Fischer is highly involved in demanding projects such as Bowman, Land Warrior, FIST and many other future soldier programmes.

For DSEi 2007, Fischer Connectors (stand 739) will have its largest ever presence, exhibiting its complete range of products and services for defence and security, avionics, broadcast, extreme environment, instrumentation, medical equipment and nuclear industries.
