New ultra-miniature connector in the Fischer MiniMaxTM Series
Thursday, November 3, 2016Description :
Fischer Connectors, the world's leading innovator of push-pull circular connectors and cable assembly solutions, today launched an even smaller ultra-miniature connector, the MiniMax 06, which enhances its range Of miniature high-density products, the Fischer MiniMaxTM Series.

The MiniMax 06 connector can include up to 12 power and signal contacts with a diameter of only 10 mm, which corresponds to a density factor of 0.83. This solution offers a unique technological feature for a connector with standard 0.5 mm contacts. The new MiniMax 06 connector also offers a unique new configuration of 2 signal contacts and 2 high density 1.3 mm power contacts for applications requiring 10 A or more, doubling the 5 A maximum standard current of Current MiniMax range.

The MiniMax 06 ensures easy handling and high performance even in extreme environments. Also available in a pre-wired solution, this connector is ideal for portable or body-worn applications where space is limited, such as in the fields of defense and safety, instrumentation, test tooling And civilian or military unmanned aerial vehicles (such as drones), to name just a few.

Improved performance and miniaturization for continuous durability
With this new, smaller connector, Fischer Connectors continues to evolve the electronics to smaller, lighter solutions with connectors combining signal and power contacts. The MiniMax 06 fits perfectly into the Fischer MiniMax ™ Series line, whose miniature and high-performance products are known to be perfectly suited to applications where space is reduced and weight is minimal and to meet the requirements Relating to combinations of multiple signal and power contacts. Tested to match high-speed protocols such as HDMI and for data transfers up to 10Gb / s, this product line also meets the growing demands of the market for higher data transmission speeds.

Wim Vanheertum, MiniMax Product Manager at Fischer Connectors explains: "This product proves that connectivity can be miniaturized successfully with robust, high-density solutions that combine signal contacts and power contacts. We have enriched our Fischer MiniMax ™ Series to meet the needs of application developers to increase the performance of their robust and miniature devices. Transmitting more mixed signal and power connections within a single configuration of multiple contacts also means offering more flexibility to meet specific requirements related to designing miniature solutions. "

Main specifications of the MiniMax 06
• Up to 12 contacts with a diameter of less than 10 mm
• Single configuration of mixed signal and power contacts
• IP68 connected and not connected
• Data transfer up to 10Gb / s
• Robust locking systems: push-pull, screw-in and quick-release
• Also available in pre-wired version with overmolded housing, straight or angled design
• 5000 insertion cycles

The line of Fischer MiniMax ™ Series connectors and cable assembly solutions allows designers to reduce space used up to 45% and weight up to 75% compared to other standard Contact similar. By replacing multiple connectors by one, this solution allows greater functionality on smaller devices while reducing total cost.

These connectors are also robust: with an IP68 protection rating (2m / 24h), even in an unconnected state, they are equipped with an unbreakable locking system and overmolded cable assemblies. Available with three locking systems (push-pull, screw-in and quick-release), they are easy to connect and disconnect and can withstand up to 5,000 insertion cycles.

With the introduction of this new and even smaller version, the Fischer MiniMax ™ Series product line now offers two sizes of connectors, 06 and 08, with bases with a diameter of 10 mm and 12 mm respectively. The possible configurations range from 4 to 24 contacts.
