1738018-1

TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine's 1738018-1 revolutionizes Backplane Connectors - Contacts for medical imaging equipment. Designed for Class II medical devices, this connector enables noise-free signal transmission in MRI gradient coils and digital X-ray detectors while meeting IEC 60601-1 safety standards.Featuring Socket geometry, the contacts are arranged for optimal creepage distances. The 8mm air gap and 15mm creepage distance exceed medical isolation requirements for patient-connected devices.The Crimp process uses medical-grade alloys that resist sterilization chemicals. Ethylene oxide and gamma radiation exposure tests confirm material stability through 100 sterilization cycles.Compatible with 12-16 AWG medical cables, the strain relief system prevents fluid wicking. The design has been validated per IEC 61032 probe tests to ensure patient safety.Gold coating is formulated for biocompatibility according to ISO 10993-5. The hypoallergenic properties make it suitable for implantable medical device connections.The 50.0µin (1.27µm) is precisely controlled to prevent particulate generation. Cleanroom assembly processes ensure particle counts meet ISO Class 5 standards for surgical environments.
