Fischer Connectors announced that all its products engineered to withstand extreme operational environments as well as standard products, are now tested to strict norms comparable to MIL-Specs. The company performs 15 environmental, mechanical and electrical tests for each product according to IEC standards. A cross-references table viewable at www.fischerconnectors.com/Mil-Specs compares IEC testing standards to MIL-Specs standards.

“The changing role of the military market to that of a worldwide policing posture has resulted in greater interest in environmentally durable, lightweight and portable equipment,” says Daniel Spycher, international sales director for Fischer Connectors. “Suppliers to the military sector must evolve with the ever-changing needs of the agile, self-contained war fighter. Sophisticated electronic C41 systems such as soldier harnesses, personal role radios and other handheld devices must be rugged, sealed and compact. So we thoroughly test our products to withstand extreme operational environments such as vibration, shock, rain, humidity, salt fog, sand/dust and temperature fluctuations”.

Military testing requirements are especially important when dealing with sub-assemblies and items that have been modified. A high degree of reliability is required especially in life-saving applications such as aircraft ejector seats and aircrew radio locator beacons.
