MediSpec Medical Plastic Circular (MPC) Interconnect System


HyperGrip® Series Connectors S


miths Connectors’ HyperGrip® (HG) circular plastic connector Series delivers the robust performance and dependability that medical device manufacturer’s demand. Engineered specifically for the medical industry, HyperGrip connectors offer a wide range of benefits including user- configurability, an aesthetic design with push-pull latching for easy one-hand mating, and various sealing and shielding options. As an added benefit, the HyperGrip product line


is available incorporating a variety of contact technologies.


The HyperGrip is manufactured with Hypertac hyperboloid contacts ensuring low contact resistance and high signal integrity. Suitable for many applications, this variation is available as an inventoried item in multiple layout configurations including: 5 (HG0), 12 (HG2), 19 (HG3), 33 (HG4), and 80 (HG6) pin positions.


Applications requiring extremely high-density


configurations can be designed utilizing Smiths Connectors’ IDI spring probe technology which more than doubles the contact density of standard connector options.

mart cameras from Vision Components’ new VC F series are designed for use in intelligent


transportation systems, e.g. for automatic license plate recognition (freeflow ALPR applications) in combination with the company’s software tool CARRIDA. They are also suitable for many other tasks, such as quality inspection and production control. VC F units are based on a quad-core processor from Freescale that provides a 4 x 1 GHz computing


freely


programmable GPU, the systems use the VC Linux operating system. The cameras feature either one or two remote 1/1.8 CMOS sensors connected by a 30 mm or 80 mm cable – the two-sensor version is also suited for stereo camera applications. Depending on the model, the sensors provide a 1,280 x 1,024 (WVGA) or 1,600 x 1,200 pixel resolution.

DE0 Series IP67 Enclosures T


his unique range of robust, sealed enclosures are tough enough to


withstand harsh weather conditions, with a


temperature rating of –20ºC to +85ºC. Dust and waterproof for short term submersion to 1m depth, this versatile range has integrated moulded seals and threaded knock-outs. The captive lid screws are corrosion resistant plastic for increased torque and insulation. They are sealed up to IP67, flame retardant ABS UL94-HB, with 4 x PCB mounts, 8 x vertical PCB guides, 2 x M20 threaded and 1 x M20 non-threaded knockout. Standard colours are black or light grey, with the option of a transparent lid. They are also available in polycarbonate. Accessories include cable glands, flange wall brackets and DIN rail brackets. If the type and dimensional size of the enclosure you require is not immediately available on our website, our experienced sales staff will search for the best options to meet your specifications.

S Components (RS), and Allied Electronics (Allied) the trading brands of Electrocomponents,


R the global distributor for


engineers, have announced that the next-generation Raspberry Pi 2 credit-card-sized single-board computer from the Raspberry Pi Foundation is now available to order online.


Building upon the success of the first generation Raspberry Pi, and targeting consumers, businesses and educators, the new Raspberry Pi 2 Model B has significantly upgraded capabilities, with faster processor cores and a doubling in memory capacity to 1GB. Raspberry Pi 2 incorporates the Broadcom BCM2836 application


processor, containing a


powerful ARM Cortex-A7 quad-core CPU running at 800MHz. This new processor makes the Raspberry Pi 2 more than six times more powerful than the first generation Raspberry Pi Model B+.

olex has introduced the MediSpec Medical Plastic Circular (MPC) Interconnect System, an economical custom-off-the-shelf interconnect that delivers high mating cycles and low-mating forces at a fraction of the cost of competing machined-contact systems. Combining premium performance and ease-of-use, MediSpec MPC interconnects incorporate proven cost-effective technology to meet the stringent standards of medical-device users.


“Recent healthcare reform bills have created an environment where medical equipment manufacturers are being driven to reduce costs without sacrificing reliability,” explained Oliver Bischoff, industry marketing manager for medical in Europe. “The MediSpec MPC Connector System solves this dichotomy, providing a high-performance and affordable alternative to typical medical circular connectors in a cost-effective, commercial product, custom- off-the-shelf design.”

The MPC system employs Molex’s proven LFH stamped-and-formed contact system, which helps ensure a reliable electrical interface for applications requiring multiple insertions. This cost efficient system,


insertion and withdrawal forces with a 10,000- cycle durability rating. The simple,


achieves low push-pull


engagement mechanism provides ease-of-use – even with surgical gloves.


An optional locking sleeve is also available to ensure the cable’s un-mating force complies with ANSI / AAMI-EC53 specification (>90N);


without the locking sleeve the cable achieves between 15 and 20N un-mating force. The contact interface (pin field) for both the plugs and receptacles are factory sealed (potted) to prevent ingress of flux into the contact zone during wire termination processes, as well as prevent ingress through the pin field during field use.
