Fischer UltiMate and UltiMate 80 rugged connectors

Fischer Connectors has extended its flagship series of ultrarugged and harsh-environment connectors with the release of the Fischer UltiMate 80, a field-ready connector offering high levels of functionality and ruggedness; and the standard Fischer UltiMate connector, now available in size 15 with various pin layouts of up to 27 signal and power contacts.

The rugged, compact and lightweight Fischer UltiMate series connectors are used to ruggedise technology for field operations in extreme environments. The connectors’ resin-sealed contact block offers robust sealing (up to IP68/IP69 even unmated, gastight, CBRN decontamination), high shock and vibration resistance, as well as high cable resistance in terms of traction. Environmentally sealed to resist extreme shocks and vibrations, the durable connectors are suitable for interconnect devices, equipment, hubs and embedded electronic systems where weight matters, for example in defence and security, industrial, instrumentation, marine and underwater, as well as robotics and unmanned vehicles.

Intermateable with other NATO STANAG 4695 connectors, the field-ready Fischer UltiMate 80 connector comes in two layouts featuring six or seven signal and power contacts (size 08) with up to AWG 22. It offers an ultrarugged, lightweight and IP68-sealed connectivity solution for any harsh environment, especially for defence and security applications and soldier modernisation programs. Its design is compliant with MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-202. The connector comes as a pre-cabled plug, and a pre-cabled and/or panel receptacle.

The Fischer UltiMate connector in size 15 meets special power and high-speed data requirements for further design and technology developments with various contact layouts (two, four, eight, 4+12 or 27 signal and power contacts).
