Connectors Meet Needs of Cryogenic Processes, Medical Imaging

connectors for cryogenicsC&K Components offers a family of high reliability connectors for medical applications. Designated the MTB1, MDM, MDMA and D*M/D*MA Series, the connectors are capable of operation in temperatures of -270°C to +200°C, making them suitable for medical applications ranging from cryogenic processes to imaging equipment, including CT scanners, MRI and ultrasound machines. The MDM Series micro-D, MDMA Series rectangular micro miniature and MTB1 Series single in-line microminiature connectors feature a reliable twist-pin contact system which provides a secure base for the contact and exhibits superior electrical and mechanical characteristics as compared to traditional machined or stamped contacts. Twist-pin contacts will mate even under severe misalignment conditions. The D*M and D*MA D-subminiature connectors are offered with coaxial, power or high voltage contacts, and are available in standard and high density layouts. The high reliability connectors employ non-outgassing and non-magnetic materials to eliminate distortion in imaging equipment. The connectors are configured for board-to-board, board-to-cable, and cable-to-cable functionality.
