ODU has introduced a low-cost, disposable push-pull plug connector designed for power and signal, and based on its Medi-Snap product.
The connector has been developed initially for medical applications such as catheters that may interface with instrumentation, but are disposed of after use.
However, according to the company it could be adapted for other uses where a 'one-shot' use is needed.
It is supplied as a disposable plug with snap-in locking, and a disposable receptacle with one-piece housing and insulator is also available.
It is compatible with the standard product line.
The standard plastic-bodied Medi-Snap can be used on a wide range of medical instrumentation and monitoring systems.
Furthermore, the items are suitable for sterilisation by gamma irradiation prior to being sealed in sterile packaging.
It is offered in several colours for coding purposes and also can be autoclaved.
In addition, it can have a metal shell and is available to take fluid tubing up to 6.5mm diameter with a pressure up to two bar .
