PN18-8LF-3K

Panduit Corp's PN18-8LF-3K redefines Terminals - Spade Connectors performance for medical imaging equipment. This precision-engineered connector meets IEC 60601-1 safety standards while ensuring flawless signal transmission in sensitive diagnostic applications. Its EMI-shielded design maintains signal integrity in RF-intensive environments.The Spring, Snap configuration provides medical-grade reliability with 10,000+ mating cycle durability. Unlike consumer-grade connectors, this design maintains sub-milliohm contact resistance throughout its lifespan.Precision-machined to 8 Stud specifications, this interface prevents micro-arcing in high-voltage medical systems. The gold-plated contacts ensure stable impedance for analog video signals.With 0.290" (7.37mm) dimensions, this connector enables high-density packaging in portable ultrasound machines. The smooth edges prevent snagging on medical drapes during procedures.The 0.890" (22.61mm) profile incorporates strain relief that withstands 200+ flex cycles. This feature is critical for handheld medical probes and wearable monitors.Optimized for Free Hanging (In-Line) installation, this terminal facilitates quick disinfection cycles. The seamless surface prevents bacterial accumulation per FDA guidelines.Utilizing Crimp technology, this connector achieves oxygen-free joints for stable thermocouple connections. The process is validated for Class II medical devices.Designed for 18-22 AWG medical cabling, this terminal maintains signal fidelity for EEG/ECG monitoring. The triaxial contact design reduces crosstalk by 60dB.The Insulated material exceeds ISO 10993-5 biocompatibility requirements. Special antimicrobial additives inhibit bacterial growth on connector surfaces.Incorporating Serrated Termination, this connector provides automatic shielding continuity monitoring. The real-time integrity checking is essential for life-support equipment.The Red coding follows IEC 60601-1 safety standards for medical equipment. This visual system prevents incorrect connections during emergency procedures.Tin plating ensures stable contact resistance below 3m after repeated sterilization cycles. The coating withstands 1000+ autoclave cycles.The Copper formulation provides optimal spring memory for disposable probe connections. Advanced alloys prevent fatigue in daily clinical use.
