Smiths Interconnect has added a new high-density option to its D connector for medical sys

Addressing the growing need of high density electrical connectors in medical devices, Smiths Interconnect has developed a high-density variant of its existing D connector series. There is a requirement of high-density electrical connectors in medical devices due to the increasing popularity of portable and patient wearable devices, size and weight of connectors are now becoming more important in the medical market segment. By increasing the contact density of connectors, design engineers can improve performance while maintaining Catheter size and minimizing additional weight. High density connectors enable critical medical devices to remain ergonomic and easy-to operate for healthcare providers. Medical applications requiring high-performance, such as electrophysiological mapping and ablation of arrythmias, and intravascular and cardiac imaging, are typical examples of applications that require high-density electrical connectors. The new D04 connectors leverage the versatility of the D Series to deliver a reliable interconnect solution for applications that require high density, high cycle life and ease of assembly. Smiths Interconnect’s D series was previously available in 2 standard sizes with contact count ranging from 3 to 25. Thanks to the addition of the new D04 connectors, the series now includes a high-density configuraton able to offer high contact count, up t...
