The new Tyco Electronics Medical-CPC connectors are rugged, user-friendly and sterilisable Medical grade circular plastic connectors for use in applications such as surgical power instruments, RF or ultrasound ablation and patient monitoring devices used in the operating room. Available currently with multiple keying options in 5, 6, 7 or 10 contact positions, the devices are very cost-effective and benefit from a robust self-latching mechanism which is secure under axial and torsional loads.

CPC medical connectors feature an ergonomic grip area with a tactile push-pull action, gold-plated contacts for optimum connection performance, an enhanced latch release mechanism and a tough black or grey lightweight housing which is resistant to shock, drop and chemically induced cracking. The essential visual coding of matching plug and receptacle pairs in the end application is achieved using coloured cable plug components and receptacle bevels. Sterilisation is possible by Autoclave and EtO techniques and by STERRAD and CIDEX+ disinfectants.

The components can be overmoulded with silicone in a single step (without potting/sealing) or customizable PVC flex relief's added for cable strain and flex protection. Integral colour coded cable collets for mating polarization are also available.

Accommodating cables with outside diameters from 2.7 up to 6.5mm, CPC medical connectors feature an operating voltage of 300Volt AC, current ratings from 3 up to 7A (depending on the number of contact positions), a durability of 2500 mating cycles and an operating temperature range from -50 up to +170 degrees Celsius.

EPIC® LS1 Circular and Mixed Power Connectors are designed to DIN specification EN61984 and have a standard M23 threaded connection housing. They are offered in male coupler, female connector, and male inlet configurations that satisfy simple cable-to-cable and cable-to-machine requirements. They are ideal for power transmission and servo drive applications in the plastics, printing, analytical instrument, robotic, machine tool industries, and any other industrial or commercial application where a compact connector with high voltage and current capability is required.

EPIC® LS1 Connectors are available in five housing arrangements and two contact configurations. Common to all arrangements are a rugged nickel plated zinc body, plastic contact insulation body and sleeve, and gold plated electrical contacts (included with the connector part number). Cable mounted arrangements also include an integral EMC shield ring and cable clamp and seal. The figure to the right shows the general construction of these connectors.

These connectors are offered with a 5+PE contact configuration for power distribution (5 contacts plus ground rated at 630 volts and 22 amps), and a 3+PE+4 contact configuration for mixed power and signal requirements for servo motor with brake and feedback applications (3 contacts plus ground rated 630 volts and 22 amps and 4 contacts rated 250 volts and 7 amps). Used in combination, they connect one flexible cable with another (cable coupler) or one flexible cable to fixed wiring on a machine (appliance coupler).

Lapp USA, a Lapp Group company, offers a complete one-stop solution for power/signal cable and connector needs throughout automation markets. Lapp USA has the broadest range of products, which includes OLFLEX® flexible, oil-resistant and continuous-flex cables, cable track and accessories, EPIC® multi-pin rectangular, circular and pin & sleeve connectors, SKINTOP® strain relief and cable glands, EPIC® remote access ports, and harness assemblies.

D-Series Connectors are high quality, plastic circular connectors featuring the reliability of integraMate™ hyperboloid contacts. They are designed to be used in applications where low mating force, resistance to vibration and reliability over a high number of mating cycles is essential. Featuring a low profile, easy to actuate latch mechanism and ergonomic shell design, they are perfect for a wide range of instrumentation applications. Made of impact resistant polycarbonate, they are able to survive rough handling. The latch mechanism provides an audible click when locked, and is resistant to accidental disconnection. D-Series connectors use easily installed and removable solder cup or crimp contacts. D-Series plugs have robust cable clamping systems and offer optional bend reliefs that make fabricating custom cable assemblies a snap.

Features

• All the benefits of integraMate™ IC Series hyperboloid contacts
• Multiple contact configurations available
• Removable contacts feature solder cup or crimp termination options
