New Fischer Alulite Connectors – When Weight Matters
06 June 2008
Are weight considerations important in the development of your equipment? Significantly 50% lighter than typical metal connectors, the new aluminium engineered Fischer AluLite Series is your solution to ultralight product design.
Saving weight improves efficiency, making the use of aluminium in product development a natural choice in many fields. Ultra-light, compact and offering excellent strength to weight ratio, the new Fischer AluLite range is ideal for mobile equipment, portable systems and hand-held devices.
Available in a wide range of colours, from bright to camouflage shades, Fischer AluLite connectors easily integrate with your product design, while also offering a flexible colour-coding system. Rugged, 360° EMC shielded, sealed up to IP68 (2m/24h) or even hermetic, they can withstand harsh conditions. Ideal for frequent connect / disconnect operations, the plugs and receptacles are engineered to endure more than 5,000 mating cycles within a temperature range of -50°C to +150°C. Additionally, the anodised finished connector housing is engineered with an aluminium alloy specifically chosen for its anticorrosion property.
Accepting cable diameters from 1.4mm to 10.7mm, the new AluLite series is available in multi-pole from two to 27 pins with solder, PCB or crimp contacts and – upon request – in coax, triax or hybrid contact configurations. The choice of body styles is wide: standard-sized or short plugs; push-pull locking mechanism or emergency release system; front projecting or flush receptacles; and front or rear mounting models. This high flexibility of configurations makes it easier to find the connector dedicated to providing a solution to your specific product design.
