Molex's MediSpec™ Medical Plastic Circular (MPC) Interconnect System combines premium performance and ease-of-use. The MediSpec Medical Plastic Circular Interconnect System incorporates proven cost-effective technology to meet the stringent standards of medical-device users.

Features and Benefits

• Utilizes Molex's LFT™ contact system
• Ensures a reliable electrical interface and 10 k mating cycles. Utilizes an economical stamped-and-formed process, which enables selective plating for further cost reduction
• Easy-to-use optional latch provides cable un-mating force to >85 N, complying with ANSI/AAMI EC53 specification. Non-locking (passive latch) version provides 15- to 20 N un-mating force
• Lightweight medical-grade plastic housing (on the standard male plug and panel-mount female receptacles)
• Withstands medical industry sterilization processes including autoclave, EtO, gamma, and chemical
• Factory-sealed contact interface (pin field) for both plugs and receptacles
• Prevents ingress of flux into the contact zone during wire termination processes. Prevents ingress through the pin field during field use
• Four standard diameters planned. Currently available: D2 (up to 17 contacts); tooling in process: D1 (up to 8 contacts); planned: D3 (up to 35 contacts) and D4 (up to 59 contacts). Four keying positions and six color-coding choices
• Addresses a full range of medical equipment applications
• IP64 rating option available
• Protects against dust ingress and splashing water
• Modular design will accommodate inserts for future applications including fiber optics, RF, power, fluidic, air couplings, and more
• Offers a complete cable solution, from design through manufacturing, in an ISO 13485-certified facility
• Delivers flexibility via alternate interface technologies and hybrid solutions
