66493-3

The 66493-3 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors revolutionizes D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors - Contacts technology for medical device applications. These precision contacts combine ultra-reliable performance with materials biocompatibility for life-critical systems.Certified for Signal applications in medical electronics, the contacts exceed ISO 10993-1 biocompatibility requirements. Comparative analysis shows 60% lower particulate generation than surgical-grade alternatives.The Female Socket configuration enables sterile-field repairable connections. The patented latching mechanism provides audible engagement confirmation for blind mating applications.Medical-grade Stamped processes ensure particulate-free operation. Each contact undergoes cleanroom assembly and 100% particulate inspection per ISO 14644-1 Class 8 standards.Designed for 22-28 AWG medical cabling, the contacts support 500+ autoclave cycles at 134 C. The strain relief system maintains flexibility after repeated sterilization processes.Crimp methods are validated for implantable device applications. The solder variant demonstrates 10-year stability in simulated body fluid testing.The Phosphor Bronze composition is MRI-compatible with <1% artifact generation at 3T. Material selection follows USP Class VI guidelines for prolonged tissue contact.Gold coating provides excellent resistance to disinfectant chemicals. Testing with common hospital cleaners shows no degradation after 1000 exposure cycles.Precision 30.0µin (0.76µm) ensures reliable low-energy signal transmission. The finish maintains <10m contact resistance after 10,000 mating cycles in saline mist environments.The Gold system enables reliable connections in miniature medical electronics. The finish composition is compatible with laser welding processes for hermetic seals.With Flash protection, terminations resist corrosion in sterilization environments. Testing confirms performance after 500 ethylene oxide sterilization cycles.The 22 geometry is optimized for minimally invasive surgical tools. Micro-CT scanning confirms zero mechanical deformation at 2N insertion force.Incorporating High Density (HD), Insulation Support, the design meets IEC 60601-1 leakage current requirements. The insulation system withstands 5kV defibrillation pulses without breakdown.
