Non-magnetic RF contacts enhance the accuracy of MRI
A range of non-magnetic RF contacts and modules, designed to align with the connector types and performance requirements of MRI equipment manufacturers, have been introduced by Molex. According to the company, the MediSpec non-magnetic RF contacts and modules are offered at a more affordable price point than non-magnetic versions.
The range includes the MMCX single plug and receptacle, the MMCX module of 6 PCB plugs and receptacles, the SSMCX module of 8 PCB plugs and right angle receptacles, the SSMCX module of 8 for RG178 cables and cable assemblies.
“Molex has developed the non-magnetic contact versions to support the requirements of the medical imaging marketplace,” said Darren Schauer, Product Manager, Molex. “In the medical imaging field, interconnects made with ferrous materials can create interference problems that degrade image quality. Our affordable, high performing, non-ferrous versions actually enhance image quality and granularity, rendering scans and images more readable and accurate. This provides significant value for manufacturers of MRI and other types of diagnostic imaging equipment.”
