Ultralight aluminium connectors
6 August 2008

Saving weight improves efficiency, making the use of aluminium in product development a natural choice in many fields. Ultralight, compact and offering excellent strength to weight ratio, the new Fischer AluLite range is ideal for mobile equipment, portable systems and handheld devices.
Available in a wide range of colours, from bright to camouflage shades, these connectors are designed to easily integrate into any product design, while also offering a flexible colour-coding system. Rugged, 360° EMC shielded, sealed up to IP68 or even hermetic, they can withstand harsh conditions. Ideal for frequent connect/disconnect operations, the plugs and receptacles are engineered to endure more than 5000 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 anticorrosive property.
Accepting cable diameters from 1,4 to 10,7 mm, the AluLite series is available in multipole variants from 2 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, front or rear mounting models.
