LP360™
BREAKTHROUGH LOW-PROFILE CONNECTIVITY
Fischer LP360™ is a range of versatile, plug and use
connectivity solutions that includes connectors, cable assemblies and active
devices to maximize usability, efficiency and performance. The connectors
have no key code, providing 360° mating freedom for optimized
cable management. Membrane-sealed contacts ensure a fully cleanable connector
(both plug and receptacle). Low profile allows for easy integration in any
environment. Discover our Tests & Proofs videos.
The Fischer LP360™ 7-pin connector in metal, launched in June 2018, was extended with nine new products in September 2019 to provide added versatility for a wide range of applications and markets.
The new connectivity solutions are
low-profile, rugged and durable, making use of the Fischer LP360™ technological
innovations, i.e. 360° mating freedom and sealed,
blind-mate and non-magnetic quick-release locking:
- Size 14, 7 signal & power contacts with
cabled receptacle (1) and panel plug (2), and
new active devices: USB 2.0 adaptor (3), LED (4) and Rugged
Flash Drive (5)
- Size 08 with 4 signal & power contacts in
plastic (high-end composite based on PEEK) with cabled plug (6) and
panel receptacle (7), and in metal with panel receptacle (8) and
panel plug (9).
