PK18-56R-X

Panduit Corp's PK18-56R-X represents a breakthrough in Terminals - Ring Connectors technology, specifically developed for medical device applications. This precision terminal connector combines biocompatible materials with ultra-reliable connection technology for life-critical systems.The Circular design incorporates failsafe features for medical applications. The dual-path contact system ensures continuous monitoring capability even during single-fault conditions.Precision-engineered for 5/16 Stud interfaces, this terminal features smooth mating surfaces. The polished contact area minimizes particulate generation during connection cycles.With a 0.030" (0.76mm) profile, this component achieves optimal flexibility for patient-worn devices. The material selection has been validated for 50,000 flex cycles without degradation.The 0.460" (11.68mm) dimension includes rounded contours for patient safety. This ergonomic design prevents tissue damage during clinical use.The 1.100" (27.94mm) measurement facilitates sterile handling procedures. The extended grip area allows for aseptic connection techniques.The Free Hanging (In-Line) configuration enables quick-disconnect functionality. The color-coded release mechanism prevents accidental disconnection.Utilizing Crimp technology, this connector creates ultra-clean joints. The process produces no particulate debris or outgassing products.Compatible with 16-22 AWG conductors, this terminal features atraumatic strain relief. The graduated compression profile prevents sharp bends in sensitive leads.The Insulated system meets USP Class VI biocompatibility standards. The material formulation resists degradation from sterilization processes.Incorporating Serrated Termination, this connector demonstrates exceptional signal integrity. The impedance-matched design preserves waveform fidelity for diagnostic applications.The Natural, Red Stripe coding system facilitates rapid identification in emergency situations. High-visibility pigments meet ADA contrast ratio requirements.Fabricated from Copper, the contacts exhibit excellent resistance to disinfectant chemicals. Testing shows no degradation after 1,000 exposure cycles.The Tin plating provides stable low-level signal performance. Contact noise measures <1 V in ECG frequency ranges.
