LISLE, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Molex Incorporated introduced today the MediSpec™ Medical Plastic Circular (MPC) Connector and Cable System featuring the world-class LFH™ (low force helix) contact design for a
high-performance and affordable alternative to typical medical circular
connectors. The MediSpec MPC system, which will be showcased at MD&M Minneapolis, MN, November 2 – 3, booth 445,
provides OEMs, cable assembly manufacturers, contract manufacturers and
research/development professionals with a cost-effective,
commercial-off-the-shelf product designed for the medical market. Its reliable
electrical interface is ideal for applications requiring multiple insertions
and its unique contact design keeps forces low for ease of use. The MediSpec
MPC system is also designed to be easily handled, even with surgical gloves.
“In today’s healthcare environment, medical equipment
manufacturers are being driven to reduce costs while continuing to develop
superior products that respond to increasingly complex medical device needs,”
said Anthony Kalaijakis, strategic medical market manager, Molex. “The MPC
system provides them with a competitively priced option that does not sacrifice
the high quality electrical performance needed in a full range of medical
equipment applications including portable and digital devices such as
catheters, defibrillators and monitors.”
The MPC system offers three standard diameters: small (up to
12 contacts); medium (up to 27 contacts) and large (up to 50 contacts), as well
as three keying positions, to address a full range of medical equipment
applications. Its medical-grade plastic housing provides a lightweight option
that can withstand the required sterilization processes found in the medical
industry and color-coded bezels allow for simple mating in multi-port
applications, preventing mismatching. The MPC system also features a modular
insert design, making it ideal for next-generation medical applications that
utilize fiber optics, radio frequency, power, fluidic and air couplings.
MediSpec MPC connectors are built to AAMI-53 specifications
and are compatible with the Molex cable assembly portfolio and other
connectivity solutions for medical device manufacturers. They are ideal for a
range of medical electronic systems including patient monitors, diagnostic
equipment and therapeutic devices.
