Medical connector is ‘fool-proof’

ELC series 570 connectors have an intuitive locking system to ensure positive mating, and mis-mating is discouraged thanks to a mating position defined by the shape of the mating area, according to its manufacturer Binder.

Intended for medical systems, female panel mount connector is protected against the ingress of liquids, water splash and accidental electrical contact, said binder, and, when mated, protection is to IP54.

“Binder has designed the connector to be good for more than 5000 mating cycles which is sure to satisfy the operating requirements of most applications across the medical sector,” said the firm.

The connector has a PA66 plastic housing, 12 gold plated contacts for 0.25mm² wires and is rated at 2A 150V.
