The following information is intended to assist in choosing the Fischer product best suited for your project and provide general engineering reference data.

Connector shells and external components are constructed from precision-machined brass, stainless steel, or aluminum. Standard metal-shell connector bodies are fabricated from nickel-plated brass with an attractive natural-satin or black-matte chrome finish. Internal metal components, such as cable clamps and guides, are machined from brass and finished with a chemical nickel plating.

For special applications, we can provide some or all internal and external metal parts in stainless steel (Type 316L) or aluminum (DIN 3.0615).

Connector shells of the 405 and 4032 Series are fabricated from a proprietary engineering plastic. This material provides a high level of performance sufficient for many applications, with the advantages of increased electrical isolation, chemical resistance, lighter weight, and reduced cost. These connectors are impervious to thousands of medical sterilization cycles via autoclave or liquid germicide and withstand operating temperatures of +200°C

Contact blocks and other insulating components are manufactured from various high-performance materials, typically PEEK (polyether-etherketone), PBT (polybutylene-terephthalate), or Teflon. They provide superior performance over competing materials in operating temperature ranges, as well as resistance to chemicals, ionizing radiation, and water absorption. For unusual applications, ceramic and other specialized dielectric materials are also available.

Contacts are the heart of any connector. Fischer’s unique contacts were developed to provide a superb combination of reliability, low resistance, and long operational life. Beginning with a proprietary design, all Fischer contacts are machined from solid metal, then plated with nickel and gold. Finally, each contact is subjected to computer-controlled testing. These processes ensure superb performance and reliability in a wide variety of operational environments.
