Rugged connectivity solutions: more with less
M
ilitary organisations throughout the world are working hard to
lighten the load that soldiers carry, and are looking at connector and cabling solutions as one place to make improvements. Troops have to carry a collection of equipment that includes, among other things, communication devices, weapons, ammunition and batteries. Every ounce of equipment carried must improve communications,
The Fischer MiniMaxTM Series: high density, signal & power, miniaturisation
agility and lethality for soldier survivability. And contractors must make sure that miniaturisation happens now, not years down the road. Fischer Connectors continues to drive innovation in the connectivity market in addressing requirements for miniaturisation, high data transmission and ultra ruggedness and has launched new miniature, lightweight, rugged connectivity solutions which are easy to use and ensure premium performance, especially in harsh environments.
Small, smaller, smallest The ultra miniature high density Fischer MiniMax™ Series has been extended with an even smaller connector, MiniMax 06, which combines up to 10 signal and 2 power (5A) contacts in a footprint of only 10 mm. Rugged and easy to use, it ensures premium performance even in harsh environments and is ideally suited for handheld or body-worn applications when space is limited. With this new smaller version, the high-density signal and power Fischer MiniMax™ Series is now available in two sizes with receptacles of only 12 mm and 10 mm footprint. The Series is a unique miniature signal and power solution that provides various configurations ranging from two signal and two power connections up to 20 signal and four power connections in one miniature connector, replacing multiple others. This saves space and weight, giving designers more flexibility and lowering the total cost of ownership. They are also rugged, with IP68 (2m/24h) sealing both mated and unmated, an unbreakable keying system, and over- moulded cable assemblies. Push-pull, screw and quick release locking systems make them easy to connect and disconnect over and over for more than 5,000 times.
Safe transportation and storage of sensitive data in harsh environments with USB 3.0 The Fischer Rugged Flash Drive is an extremely tough memory stick designed for safe storage and transportation of sensitive data in harsh environments. It is suitable for use with ruggedised computers. The unique Fischer circular connector interface, combined with durable encapsulation technique, guarantees data safety in case of loss or theft.
The Fischer Rugged Flash Drive USB 2.0 on UltiMate size 08 and new versions UltiMate size 07 and MiniMax size 08 with USB 3.0.
The USB 3.0 Fischer Rugged Flash Drive is even faster, smaller and more user-friendly than the USB 2.0 product introduced to the market in 2011. The read speed is now up to five times faster, standard memory sizes are up to 128 GB and, in order to guarantee secure access, it is now available not only with the Fischer UltiMateTM
interface, but also with the Fischer MiniMaxTM interface.
