Highly reliable connectors designed for limited use requirements
9 August 2006
Interconnection
Fischer's new L.U.C. (limited use connector) is specifically designed for disposable devices, such as for use in medical applications. Engineered to take advantage of high volume savings while still offering the high reliability, the L.U.C. offers multiple configurations and suits a wide array of applications, from catheters to surgical hand tools and more.
The plug can either be directly mounted into a disposable handpiece, or overmoulded to the user's design. Both configurations are customisable and are ideal for compact designs. A third option is to mount the plug to a disposable cable, either with a one-piece back-shell for simple and economic designs, or a two-piece back-shell with snap lock design for easy assembly. The two-piece model offers additional features such as an ergonomic rubber grip, standard colours plus custom colour options and there is also space to accommodate embedded electronics that could, for instance, disable the connector after a preset number of uses.
The parts are capable of withstanding EtO and Gamma sterilisation processes, conforming with the requirements of the UL/IEC 60601 directives.
Mateable with all Fischer panel and cable receptacles, the disposable plug allows permanent equipment to keep working with high cycle lifetime receptacles. Accepting a maximum cable diameter of 8,7 mm, the Fischer L.U.C. is available from two to 19 pins with solder or crimp contacts.
