CONEC Develops Nonmagnetic Combination D-Subminiature Connectors for Medical Imaging Equipment

CONEC, a manufacturer of high-quality connectors, has developed a series of nonmagnetic combination D-subminiature connectors for advanced medical imaging equipment. These combination D-subminiature connectors exhibit a low relative magnetism because they replace the major conventional magnetic components that could interfere with the magnetic flux of medical imaging systems, such MRI machines.

The nonmagnetic combination D-sub connectors can include signal, high-power or coaxial contacts and are composed of copper alloy shells, tin-plated brass hardware components like screws or threaded rivets and die-cast zinc brackets, The advanced nonmagnetic combination D-subminiature connectors are available in 21 standard pin configurations, as well as in custom arrangements.

Connectors used in medical equipment, particularly MRI, CAT and other diagnostic applications, need to combine small size and lightweight characteristics with high performance and ruggedness.

Available with 4-40 UNC or M3 threaded inserts, the nonmagnetic combination D-subminiature connectors feature power rating from 10A to 40A and a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The coax contacts are available in 50 or 75 Ohm versions.

The combination D-subminiature connectors are both RoHS and REACH compliant. Available in a variety of configurations including shell sizes one through five.
