Users of instrumentation devices for test and measurement rely on their devices to provide pinpoint accuracy that is critical to the smooth operation of large systems. In challenging applications as varied as oil & gas, energy, railway, defence and medical, the choice of connector and cable solution is crucial, complex and requires careful analysis. In order to select the best connectivity solution, it is important to consider the entire system, specific technical requirements and conditions of use, and to leverage the latest performance-enhancing technologies.
Fischer Connectors designs and manufactures precision, push-pull circular connectors and cable assemblies that are particularly suited to high-performance test and measurement applications. Our products provide seamless, accurate and repeatable connections and reliable data transfer – even in extreme conditions and with rough handling. To meet diverse constraints, like size, weight, power and data volume or speed, we offer a wide range of contact configurations – including low and high voltage, fibre optics, hybrid connections for transmitting gas or fluid in the same body, plus hermetically sealed options.
Partnering with engineers worldwide, Fischer Connectors’ experts analyse their specific needs and help them find the perfect connectivity solution to overcome their unique challenges. Among the most sought-after features and benefits in connector and cable assembly solutions for test and measurement applications are:
- IP68, IP69 and hermetic sealing
- High speed data transfer
- 360° EMC shielding to prevent interference
- Compact, lightweight connectors
- Rugged design suited for harsh, demanding applications
- Push-pull locking system for fast, easy, reliable connections.
These are all included as standard in Fischer Connectors four Product Series – Core, UltiMate, Fiber Optic and MiniMax. In addition to more than 30,000 standard connector configurations, we also offer customized connector and cable assembly solutions, giving you even more flexibility.
With new trends, like the Internet of Things and increased mobility, demand is growing for seamless connectivity and fast big data transfer across different platforms and devices. Fischer Connectors continues to drive innovation in connectivity by combining features like ultra-ruggedness, miniaturization and high-data transmission in a single integrated solution. By helping you build smaller, smarter and more reliable devices that can share data freely and securely, we ensure you gain a competitive advantage in the increasingly competitive instrumentation sector.
Our team will be happy to advise you on any connectivity challenge and discuss how our products can help you, including:
1. Combining high-speed signal & power in applications with limited space
Our ultra-miniature, high-density Fischer MiniMax™ Series now includes an even smaller connector, MiniMax 06, which combines up to 10 signal and 2 power (5A) contacts in a footprint of just 10 mm. Rugged, ultralight and easy to use, it ensures premium performance in any weather and now ensure full compliance with USB3.0.
2. 
Safely transporting and storing sensitive data in harsh environments
The new USB 3.0 version of the Fischer Rugged Flash Drive is extremely fast, small and easy to use. Miniature and lightweight, this memory stick is the durable solution for people on the go who need to download and securely transfer confidential data, images or videos from devices used in extreme environmental conditions or in hard-to-reach areas.
3. 
Ensuring high optical performance and easy cleaning even in the field
The Fischer FiberOptic Series now includes a new single fiber optic connector, FO1. This miniature, lightweight, rugged connectivity solution has IP68 sealing (mated) and UPC & SM APC polishing, making it easy to use and clean. FO1 is available either in pre-configured reels or integrated into custom assemblies.
In the age of Big Data and the Internet of Things, selecting the right compact, rugged connector and cable solution is the key to achieving safe, reliable testing, measurement and other instrumentation applications. Focusing on finding the right solution for a specific system as early as possible can vastly improve the design, usability, and cost structure of your instrumentation device. Time and effort spent here will bring accuracy and long-term performance with good product durability.
