binder USA Introduces Biocompatible ELC Cable Connectors for Medical Devices

Oct. 6, 2022
Snap-in connectors designed for frequent disconnection/reconnection.

binder USA presents the Series 570 Easy Locking Connector (ELC), designed to meet the specific electromechanical connectivity requirements for use in medical devices. Biocompatible, non-irritating to skin, and resistant to disinfectants, this connector is ideal for usage in the patient environment. The ELC consists of two assemblies that automatically snap into place. An asymmetric hexagon shape in the mating area aligns the plug to the socket to prevent mismating, while snap-in hooks ensure effective locking. The locked parts can only be separated with a special detachment tool, preventing unintended disconnection by the user.

In addition to being shock proof and vibration resistant, binder’s ELC protects to IP54 against dust, splashing water, and accidental electrical contact, making it suitable for hygienically-sensitive environments.
