Hybrid connectors with fibre, signal, fluid and gas contacts

1 June 2005 Interconnection

W.W.Fischer has introduced its newly-developed line of Hybrid connectors. Expanding on its existing, wide range of connector solutions, the Hybrid line offers high versatility in solving today's complex interconnection requirements.

The contact blocks of the Hybrid line can be assembled into a wide variety of configurations by using user-installed fibre-optic, coax, and electrical contacts, as well as inserts for the transmission of fluid and/or gas.

This versatility also extends to the various connector body styles available in the Hybrid line. As they are modelled on the company's existing connector line, they are well-known for both their flexibility in adapting to the demands of almost any project, as well as their long term reliability operating in stringent environments.

Initially offered with a choice of eight standard bodies, the Hybrid line will be expanded to include many more styles in the future. As with Fischer's general line of connectors, the Hybrid line can be optionally sealed to IP68 with a number of well integrated options and accessories.

The capabilities of the Hybrid line include:

* Singlemode (for 9/125 μm fibre); multimode (for 50/125 and 62,5/125 μm fibre).

* Coax contacts: 50 Ω (for RG174, RG178, RG188, RG196, etc.); 75 Ω (for RG179, RG187, etc).

* Electrical contacts: signal and/or power (for 14 to 32 AWG conductors).

* Fluid and/or gas: 5 bar maximum pressure.
