172890-8

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors's 172890-8 establishes new benchmarks in Terminals - Housings, Boots technology for medical imaging equipment. This precision-engineered solution combines ultra-low signal noise with exceptional radiation hardness for diagnostic applications.The Housing design incorporates radiopaque markers for X-ray visibility and MRI compatibility. The monolithic construction eliminates particulate generation in cleanroom environments.Specialized for Wire to Board applications, these contacts feature nano-crystalline gold plating for stable micro-voltage transmission. The hyperbolic contact geometry ensures <5m resistance after 10,000 mating cycles.With Non-Gendered configuration, this hermetic interface maintains 10-9 atm cc/s helium leak rate. The ceramic-to-metal sealing technology prevents outgassing in vacuum environments.The 8 high-density array supports analog sensor networks with 120dB channel isolation. Each position features individual Faraday shielding for EMI immunity.Featuring Side to Side flexibility, this design accommodates equipment modular upgrades. The zero-insertion-force mechanism protects delicate sensor connections during servicing.Designed for Mini Amp-In™ Terminals integration, this housing withstands 1,000+ autoclave cycles without deformation. The USP Class VI certified materials prevent biological contamination.The Free Hanging (In-Line) system enables sterile field installation with single-glove operation. Color-coded rotational alignment prevents incorrect mating in low-visibility conditions.The Natural pigment meets ISO 80369 visibility requirements for medical gas systems. The non-toxic formulation remains stable under gamma radiation sterilization.
