2198346-7

The 2198346-7 by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors redefines reliability in Pluggable Connectors for mission-critical medical imaging equipment. This precision-engineered connector system combines ultra-low signal loss with exceptional EMI performance, enabling clearer diagnostic results in MRI and CT scan applications.Optimized for Receptacle with Cage, Ganged (2x8) configurations, the connector features radiopaque materials for X-ray visibility. Its ganged 1x6 arrangement provides 12% higher density than standard designs while maintaining 50 impedance control 5% - crucial for high-resolution PET scanner data acquisition systems.As a zSFP+ specialist, this component supports hybrid electrical/optical channels. zSFP+ variants enable 16GFC Fibre Channel connectivity with integrated DDM functions, reducing cabling complexity in hospital data center SAN deployments by 30%.The 320 (16 x 20) layout optimizes analog signal paths. 38-contact versions support 12 differential pairs with guarded single-ended channels, perfect for maintaining >100dB SNR in digital radiography detector arrays.The Through Hole, Right Angle option addresses unique medical equipment requirements. Straddle mount versions allow PCB-to-chassis grounding with <1 resistance, essential for meeting IEC 60601-1 leakage current specifications in patient-connected devices.Press-Fit technology ensures sterile environment compatibility. Kinked pin designs withstand 1000+ autoclave cycles at 134 C without performance degradation, solving connectivity challenges in surgical instrument sterilization processes.Incorporating Board Guide, EMI Shielded, Light Pipe, the connector meets stringent medical standards. EMI shielding effectiveness exceeds 70dB at 6GHz, preventing interference with sensitive bio-sensors while integrated board guides enable blind mating in confined ultrasound probe assemblies.Gold selection addresses biocompatibility requirements. GXT coated contacts demonstrate 10x better corrosion resistance in saline environments compared to standard gold, ensuring reliable operation in laparoscopic video systems.With 30.0µin (0.76µm) precision, the connector maintains stable contact resistance. The 0.38 m gold flash variant shows <5% variation after 10,000 mating cycles - critical for reliable operation in movable C-arm fluoroscopy equipment.
