PEI-Genesis, a leading provider of custom connector and cable solutions has released a comprehensive whitepaper detailing the Stingray 7 series connectors, designed by Amphenol. This whitepaper introduces groundbreaking magnetic technology, designed to revolutionise communication in challenging environments, and showcases the advanced features of the Stingray 7 series.
Titled Crucial connectors: Stingray 7 connectors empower body-worn applications, the whitepaper delves into the unique design features and benefits of the Stingray 7 connectors, offering insights into their application in various industries, including defence, public safety and firefighting.
The Stingray 7 series connectors feature a compact, low-profile design with rugged metal shells, making them ideal for use in environments where exposure to moisture, dust, dirt and chemicals is common. These connectors are built to withstand the rigors of extreme conditions encountered by first responders and soldiers, providing uninterrupted connectivity when it matters most.
The key feature outlined in the guide is the innovative magnetic technology, which allows connectors to quickly disconnect, facilitating the connection between non-tethered equipment, such as helmet to torso, protecting users from potential injury due to cable snagging.
The whitepaper emphasises the importance of maintaining clear communication in challenging environments and the need for innovative solutions to address design challenges faced by first responders and tactical personnel. It also discusses the role of lightweight, compact connectors in enhancing mobility, agility, and effectiveness in critical situations.
“In challenging environments, seamless communication is critical,” explains Sean Fitall, senior product manager at PEI-Genesis. “This whitepaper showcases the advanced features of the Stingray 7 connectors and underscores our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers across various industries.”
The Stingray 7 connectors also feature a non-keyed coupling system that has no moving parts, meaning that connectors can be easily mated without the need for pre-alignment, eliminating the need to operate any mechanical coupling mechanisms. Quick disconnect is facilitated in all angles of separation, enabling rapid equipment disengagement during dynamic combat scenarios.
In addition to quick disconnect capabilities, the Stingray 7 connectors provide over 10,000 mating cycles, without any loss of reliability of the user’s signal or power. The high volume of mating cycles helps increase the lifespan of connectors before replacement is needed.
In this whitepaper, readers can also find out about particular case studies in which Stingray 7 connectors have been successfully deployed. These case studies include a rescue mission in a dense forest, in which a team of first responders relied on the Stingray 7 connectors to stay connected and coordinate their efforts effectively. Similarly, these connectors have been used by a military unit deployed in a harsh desert environment to bolster their communication systems.
On top of delivering connector solutions for different body-worn applications, PEI-Gensis helps customers assess their personal equipment requirements and provides customisable interconnected solutions to respond to special requests.
