QLC zero insertion force connector for portable medical applications

The new QLC medical connector is the latest in ITT 's complete line of DL zero insertion force connectors and meets the challenge of providing a high pin count whilst remaining within size constraints demanded by designers tasked with increasing the portability of sophisticated equipment such as ultrasound scanners.

Additionally, it is possibly the most economical low-cost-per-mated-line I/O connector currently on the market.

The QLC medical connector features a 260-position pin count within a lightweight aluminium shell. The quick-disconnect latch lock provides easy mating and unmating, vital for speed in portable medical equipment, yet is robust enough to withstand 20,000 mating cycles. It offers RFI and EMI shielding against electrical interference.

Applications include medical equipment, ultrasound scanners, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, test instruments and industrial control box connection.
