2178186-4

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors's 2178186-4 sets new benchmarks in Blade Type Power Connectors - Housings performance for medical imaging equipment. This connector combines ultra-low signal loss with exceptional EMI shielding properties, making it ideal for sensitive diagnostic applications. Its biocompatible materials meet ISO 10993 standards for patient safety.The Receptacle design incorporates fail-safe mating detection for critical medical systems. The breakaway feature prevents damage during accidental cable pulls.Featuring Female Blade Socket contacts with palladium-nickel plating, this connector ensures reliable signal transmission. The hyperbolic contact profile maintains stable impedance across 10,000 mating cycles.Available in 2 positions, this connector accommodates both analog sensor signals and digital data buses. The isolated contact groups prevent interference between different signal types.With 0.307" (7.80mm) pitch configuration, this connector supports high-density analog sensor arrays. The optimized spacing minimizes capacitive coupling between channels.The 1 row configuration provides optimal signal integrity for high-resolution imaging. This layout minimizes crosstalk between adjacent micro-coaxial lines.Free Hanging (In-Line) versions feature IP68-rated sealing for liquid immersion protection. The panel-mount variant includes integrated strain relief for flexible cabling.Using Crimp methodology, this connector achieves medical-grade termination reliability. The laser-welded joints provide consistent performance after repeated sterilization cycles.The Black housing material meets UL94 5VA flammability standards. Non-reflective surfaces reduce glare in surgical environments.Incorporating Stackable, this connector exceeds IEC 60601-1 safety requirements. The touch-proof design prevents accidental contact with live circuits.The Side to Side stacking orientation enables compact module interconnection. The color-coded alignment keys prevent mismating during field service.
