State of the art medical devices designed for diagnostic and therapeutic systems, such as mapping and ablation catheters, require repeated mating between reusable and disposable electronic components. As a result, system reliability and durability is critical. Eclipta™ medical connector incorporates an innovative, double-ended, edge card contact system designed for high mating cycle life, providing reliable connection over the life of the reusable device.
Eclipta™ Edge Card Technology
- Double-ended Edge Card Contact Design
- Mates to PCB on the Disposable Connector Side
- Patented Technology: US Patent #8727795 B2
PCB Connection
- Fine Pitch Edge Card Contacts Allow for Smaller Footprint in Medical Equipment
- Reusable Connector is Fingerproof (Meets the Requirements of IEC 60601-1) for Patient and Medical Personnel Safety
- Eliminates Bent Pin Damage
- Mass Termination
Mating Cycle Life
- Up to 2,500 Mating Cycles
- Increases Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of Reusable Side
Plug and Play Design
- Minimizes Assembly Time and Inventory Costs
- Rugged Plug Mates either to (PCB Inside) the Disposable Device or Directly to the System
Sterilizable Connector
- Meets Typical Medical Sterilization Requirements (Autoclave, EtO and Sterrad® 1 Protocols)
Quick, Intuitive Mating
- Unique Connector Shape and Available Keying Ensures Correct Mating in Fast-paced Medical Settings
- Simple Push-button Active Latch Prevents Inadvertent Unmating and Provides Audible Feedback
Embedded Electronics
- Allows for Greater Design Flexibility
