Magnetic Blind Mate Connectors for Body-worn Applications
The Amphenol Ltd. Stingray 7 Series offers compact, low profile, metal shelled connectors that withstand exposure to moisture, dust, dirt, and chemicals typically encountered by first responders, security and military personnel. Designed to meet the requirements of DEF-STAN 23-012, the magnetic, non-keyed coupling system has no moving parts and allows the connector to be easily mated without the need for pre-alignment and eliminates the need to operate any mechanical coupling mechanisms. The magnetic technology allows the connector to quickly disconnect making it ideal for connection between non-tethered equipment, such as helmet to torso, and therefore protects users from potential injury due to cable snagging. MOLLE and wall mount modular accessories allow for mounting of either gender to MOLLE loops or equipment.
