Fischer UltiMate™ Series 80

When the going gets tough, you need a robust, sealed connector

RUGGED | COMPACT | LIGHTWEIGHT

The Fischer UltiMate™ Series offers ultra-rugged, compact, lightweight, sealed connectors and cable assembly solutions. Ideally suited to withstand a variety of severe environmental, industrial, and chemical conditions, and designed for durability and stealth, this circular push-pull connector provides extremely robust mechanical keying, IP68/69 sealing even unmated, and excellent 360° EMC shielding. These rugged features make it ideal for extreme applications that depend on data reliability and need to be protected from all sorts of environmental interferences.

Fischer UltiMate™ 80

Designed to be compatible with Nett Warrior components and intermateable with other NATO STANAG 4695 connectors, the Fischer UltiMate™ 80 connector has been engineered to offer ultra-rugged, lightweight, and IP68-sealed connectivity solutions for any harsh environments, especially for soldier modernization programs. The connector comes in two layouts featuring 6 or 7 signal and power contacts with up to AWG 22.

  • Compatible with other Nett Warrior, NATO STANAG 4695, and Generic Open Soldier System Reference Architecture (GOSSRA) connectors
  • Extreme shock and vibration resistance
  • IP68 sealing (mated and unmated)
  • Hermetic versions available (gas tight, vacuum tight)
  • Corrosion resistance (500 hours of salt mist spray)
  • Operating temperatures from -55 °C to +135 °C
  • 360° EMC shielding
  • Blind mating
  • Up to 10,000 mating cycles
  • Color overmolding available
  • Compliant with MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-202
  • Pre-cabled version
  • Available in straight or right-angle overmolding

Applications

Compatible with NATO STANAG 4695 and GOSSRA*, and designed to meet Nett Warrior standards, the Fischer UltiMate 80™ outperforms most of the competitor connectors on the defense market. With its combination of rugged features in terms of sealing, resistance to corrosion / vibration / extreme temperatures, cable bending resistance, and key coding, this connector offers unparalleled functionality and robustness in comparison with similar harsh-environment quick-release connectors, which makes it the ideal solution for use in the devices and equipment worn by dismounted soldiers in the field.
