This week I bring you my guide to Medical Connectors. Even if you don’t work in the medical field this is still worth a read as many technologies used are transferable qualities.
If you are designing or improving existing Cables and Intern-connection it’s well worth considering Medical Grad Connectors as an alternative to Mill Spec and Industrial.
There are various reasons you may want to consider Medical Connectors and these are:
Many medial connectors just look good! When you consider how Mill Spec connectors can look dull and boring think about how you can spice up your product range with colour and visually pleasing interconnection.
If you are a design engineer it’s important to think about practicality and functionality however, your company has to sell your products so consider how the product looks!
So here some connectors well worth looking at!
Smiths Connectors’ HyperGrip (HG) circular plastic connector series delivers the robust performance and dependability that medic
al device manufactures demand.
Engineered specifically for the medical industry, HyperGrip connectors offer a wide range of benefits including user-configurability, an aesthetic design with push-pull latching for easy one-hand mating, and various sealing and shielding options.
The ODU MEDI-SNAP is ideal for medical technology applications from ventilation treatment solutions to heart-lung machines. The lightweight plastic connector is available in autoclavable and sterilizable versions.
With more than 10 different receptacles and connector parts, ODU offers just the right solution for every application. To avoid mismating, coding options are available in just as many varieties – six different mechanical types of pin-keying and seven color-coding options allow for user-friendly, intuitive insertion into the correct receptacle.
LEMO’s HALO LED Intelligent Active Connector (IAC) has an LED-lighted flange that shows the connector status, enabling
the medical device to display an immediate visual of the connection status for the operator or user. When multiple connections need to be made, the user will know immediately if all the connections are running fine.
This range of products uses LEMO’s standard push-pull connector technology and is available in various series, sizes, and colors with a high-quality, robust construction. LEMO also offers cable assembly services for all its medical device products.
Binder has introduced a new product line of white connectors, which are offered in two quick-connect and -disconnect styles including 
snap-in and bayonet locking. These connectors are suitable for the medical industry and applications where aesthetics are key to the design.
This product line follows the design of Binder’s existing snap-in and NCC (not-connected closed) bayonet locking connectors. Ranging from three to 12 contacts per connector with a rated current of one to seven amps per contact, these connectors provide viable power and signal for a variety of applications.
I hope you have found this useful and please feel free to contact us for more information.
