Edge Card Technology
- Double-ended edge card contact design
- Mates to pc board on the disposable connector side
- US Patent # 8727795 B2
High Mating Cycle Life
- Minimum 2,500 mating cycles
- Increases Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of reusable side
PCB Connection
- Fine pitch edge card contacts allow for smaller footprint in medical equipment
- Finger-proof for patient & medical personnel safety, while eliminating bent pin damage
- Effortless termination
- Tolerates standard sterilization protocols: Autoclave, EtO, Sterrad®
- Embedded electronics allows for greater design flexibility
Plug & Play Design
- Minimized assembly time and inventory costs
- Rugged plug mates either to disposable device or directly to the system
- Embedded electronics allows for greater design flexibility
Quick, Intuitive Mating
- Unique connector shape & available keying ensures correct mating in fast-paced medical environments
- Simple push-button active latch prevents inadvertent unmating and provides audible feedback
Eclipta™ connector series addresses the industry's need for a reliable interconnect system with minimal cost. Eclipta™ medical connector incorporates an innovative, double-ended, edge card contact system featuring a PCB as the contact on the disposable connector side. This eliminates the cost of the contact system on that side. In addition, its plug and play design provides effortless termination and virtually eliminates the potential contact damage associated with the termination process. Additional benefits include mass termination of catheter wires directly to the PCB in the disposable and reusable sides, scalability, customization, and the possibility to be re-worked on the reusable side.
