Product specifications SEALING CATEGORIES The IP (Ingress Protection) classification system provides a reliable method of comparing relative levels of sealing between various connector products. The protection level offered by a typical envelope is described in IEC 60529, published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). While the first number describes the level of protection from solid objects, the second one relates to protection from liquids. The digits indicate conformity with the conditions summarized in the tables aside. Protected against solid objects greater than 50 mm...

Product specifications O-rings COMMONLY USED SEALING LEVELS IP50 indoor unexposed applications IP68 watertight sealing Hermetic sealing Each requires different sealing levels and, therefore, different connector solutions. IP50 INDOOR / UNEXPOSED APPLICATIONS Typically for indoor or industrial applications, the required sealing level is IP50, since the device needs to be protected against dust but not exposed to water. The IP50 rating can be improved with additional accessories like boots or protective sleeves. IP68 WATERTIGHT SEALING Typically for applications requiring outdoor use where they...

Product specifications A/Z POLARITY To protect users from contact with dangerous voltage, most of Fischer Connectors’ products are available in two versions : STANDARD A POLARITY The contacts of the receptacle are protected against accidental touch. Recommended when voltage is present on the receptacle. INVERTED Z POLARITY The contacts of the plug are protected against accidental touch. Recommended when voltage is present on the plug.

Product specifications TEST VOLTAGE & OPERATING VOLTAGE Operating voltage Operating voltage Creepage distance & airgap Test voltage Typical scatter of breakdown voltage values Breakdown voltage BREAKDOWN VOLTAGE Maximum voltage difference that can be applied before the occurrence of a disruptive discharge between mutually insulated portions of a connector or between insulated portions and the ground. TEST VOLTAGE (or withstanding voltage) Voltage level at which the connector is tested during the qualification test. This value represents the upper physical limit. It is usually set at 75% of breakdown...

Product specifications CURRENT RATING (Maximum permissible current) DERATING CURVE DERIVED FROM THE BASIC CURVE Current l Upper temperature limit Upper current limit (wires, cable) (Derated) Operating area Basic curve The current values listed under “Electrical & contact configurations” were measured in our test laboratory according to IEC 60512-5-2: Current-carrying capacity test, Test 5b: Current-temperature derating. They are the currents that create a temperature rise of 40 °C (unless otherwise specified) within the connectors due to the self-generated heat, and they belong to the basic curve...

Product specifications HIGH FREQUENCY SIGNAL & DATA TRANSMISSION INPUT Challenges in data transmission When a signal is emitted at the transmitter, it must undergo minimal distortion across the system (transmitter, connectors, cable, receiver) to be properly recovered at the receiver. DATA TRANSMISSION PRINCIPLES Types of signal distortion across the transmission link: Return loss: When the impedances of two interfaced media do not match (i.e., transmitter/connector, connector/cable, ...), some parts of the signal will reflect back towards the source and be lost. The amount of this loss comes...
