Kensington Partners with Smiths Interconnect to offer miniature connector in medical market.
Kensington Electronics, Inc., one of the fastest growing distributors of electronic components in the United States, continues to expand its medical offering by signing on as the only official distributor for both Smiths Interconnect' Mini-D and Mini-HG circular connector series.
The Mini D series connector is nearly 30% smaller than Smiths Interconnect D01 series, has 0.30mm Hypertac® high reliability contacts, simple push-button latching, and the distinctive housing provides alignment and polarization.
Both the mini-D and mini-HG connector incorporate the ultra-reliable Hypertac hyperboloid contacts with 0.30mm pins which create a significantly smaller form factor with five-signal contacts rated at 1 Amp each. The design maintains the same reliable electromechanical performance characteristics of all Hypertac contacts: high cycle life, low contact resistance, low insertion and extraction force, resistance to shock and vibration, and superior self-cleaning action, but now meet the industry's increased demands for miniaturization and higher density.
Additionally, the Mini-HG is IP67, Fingerproof to IEC60601, and can be color coded.
The connectors are ideal for use in medical equipment such as monitors, therapeutic devices, imaging applications, and invasive probes. With medical systems becoming smaller, Smiths Interconnect mini connectors allow manufacturers to create smaller devices that offer more comfort and portability for patients.
