Rugged Flash drive

22 June 2011 Computer/Embedded Technology

Fischer Connectors has developed a tough USB Flash drive designed for safe transportation and storage of sensitive data in harsh environments.

The memory module is securely mounted within a rugged aluminium casing designed to provide full protection against extreme environmental conditions. Sealed to IP 68/69K even unmated, it is waterproof down to 120 metres and is resistant to extreme operating temperatures (-40°C to +85°C). In addition, it is protected from shock and vibration damage (withstands minimum 26 x 1,5 metre drops). The device is equipped with a rugged protection cap.

Fitted with a signalling and protocol certified, high-speed USB 2.0 Flash memory, the drive features a proprietary Fischer circular connector interface. Miniature (key ring size) and lightweight (only 18 grams), it is adapted for harsh environmental applications typical of the defence and security, industrial, underwater, oil and gas or medical sectors. It is suited for UAV, ROV, optronic devices, GPS, sensors, test and measurement equipment or rugged computers.

The standard Flash drive comes in 4 GB capacity with a Fischer UltiMate Original series connector interface (UP01, size 08, four contacts). Its modular design, including a large selection of body styles, sizes, contact configurations and memory capacities, is flexible for custom solutions.
