Custom High Pin Count Medical Connectors and Cables

Common connector types used in the medical field are also used in data centers, communications equipment, industrial systems, military, aerospace design and other high-reliability, high-performance markets.
In medical device design, every component choice is important. However, specifying electronic connectors for medical technology is not always specific to this market. In fact, as medicine becomes more dependent on audio-visual capabilities, high-speed data transmission, artificial intelligence, and real-time services such as remote-guided surgery and home care. Common connector types used in medical devices may be the same as those used in other high-reliability markets. The growth of wearable products has led to the growth of sensor data collection, biocompatible and sterilizable materials, wireless data/power transmission and smaller medical products. Artificial intelligence is now being used for diagnosis. Remote surgery is performed using robotic arms. Advanced imaging systems can provide detailed information to care teams immediately. These trends require edge devices to handle power density and performance in a miniaturized form factor. For connector types, this means higher pin counts and power ratings. Connector types such as board-to-board, wire-to-board and wire-to-wire are widely used in medical devices, and common USB, HDMI and D-sub connectors are suitable for such applications. High-quality universal connectors can also meet medical industry standards and regulatory compliance. Below are six common connector types used in medical devices.

High pin count medical connectors and cables can have many capabilities, including:
High pin counts: Some connectors can have up to 612 pins.
High-speed signaling: Some connectors can support high-speed data transfer.
Robust packaging: Some connectors can support dense pin counts in small-footprint applications.
High-durability cycle life: Some connectors can have a high-durability cycle life.
Shielded connector solutions: Some connectors can enable power, data, and signal to generate, transmit, and feedback.
Изолационно съпротивление: Some connectors can have an insulation resistance greater than 5000 MOhm at 500 VDC.
Low-resistance pin and socket technology: Some connectors can use low-resistance pin and socket technology.
Medical connectors must meet safety standards, such as the ISO 60601-1 standard, which specifies means of protection for patients and operators.
