How to choose the right connector for medical equipment
The design of medical devices is highly dependent on efficient underlying electronic interconnect systems. Therefore, the design of the connector and the selection of the correct connector are essential When designing medical equipment, engineers will face many challenges and extremely complex choices that will not occur in other industries. Medical devices need to be durable and reliable, and the conditions of use are often very stringent, including liquids, sterilization, physical interference and electromagnetic interference, as well as extremely high insertion and removal times. Such medical devices are highly dependent on the effectiveness of the underlying electronic interconnection system. The design of the connector is an integral part of the design process, and choosing the right connector is critical. Decide on the applicable options The first thing an engineer must consider is to decide whether to use an off-the-shelf connector, a hybrid version, or a customized ...
