C&K’s Connectors Meet Needs of Cryogenic Processes and Medical Imaging Equipment

“While many connectors are designed with silver plating material, our high reliability connectors are designed with a combination of nickel and gold materials, making them suitable for use over a wider temperature range,” said Gilles Parguey, senior product manager for C&K Components. “The connectors are also manufactured at our European Space Agency-approved facility and are subjected to a number of tests to ensure they meet ‘zero defect’ criteria, further guaranteeing reliability and in turn, patient safety.”

The MDM Series micro-D, MDMA Series rectangular micro miniature and MTB1 Series single in-line microminiature connectors feature a highly 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. Custom designs and cable harnessing services are also available.

C&K Components will be exhibiting at the MD&M East show, July 9-11, 2009 in booth 2281 at the Javits Convention Center in New York, NY.
