The ambulance is the lifeline between the hospital and the emergency patient, and the failure of any ambulance-related hardware can bring lives to a screeching halt. So the various medical devices in ambulances have very stringent requirements for technical performance of the connectors.
The selection of a highly adaptable, waterproof industrial connector for medical applications is a crucial task for ambulance medical equipment.
What Are the Factors to Choose the Connectors for Ambulance Medical Equipment?
01. Reliability of Connector
Ambulance medical equipment will be exposed to water, liquid, disinfection liquid and other environments, so it has stringent requirements for connector waterproof and corrosion resistance: waterproof level required IP65 or more, salt spray test performance ≥ 48H.
02. Durability of Connector
Ambulance equipment was affected by the state of the vehicle, and it has high requirements for vibration resistance and durability of connectors. This is demonstrated in two aspects: First, the connector shell to have a high enough strength and stiffness. Second, the connector separation force is not less than 100N.
03. Safety of Connector
For connector safety, one is that product requirement need to comply with UL, TUV and other standards and reliable electrical isolation. In general, the insulation impedance of the connector should be greater than 100MΩ. Another is that the material is green and environmentally friendly, in line with CE, RoHS and other environmental standards, but it does not contain lead, mercury, cadmium and other harmful substances, and will not pose a secondary injury to the critically ill and injured.
04. Prolonged Use
Ambulances are often put into use continuously for a long time, so the requirements of waterproof connector indicators need to comply with IEC61984, GBT34989 and other standards, the general requirement of temperature rise value ≤ 30K, thus ensuring the stability of the connector for a long time application.
Analysis the Compatibility Between Cnlinko DH20 Waterproof Connectors And Ambulance Medical Equipment
DH20 3-pin power connector is a highly reliable industrial waterproof connector developed by Cnlinko. In the connection solution for ambulances, it is mainly used to connect the battery on the ambulance and the charging connection of various medical equipment, and distribute power to various power-using equipment. It can fully meet the above technical requirements of ambulance medical equipment for the connector, to achieve a high degree of compatibility. The main performance is as follows:
01. Reliability of DH20
DH20 series waterproof connectors are designed with Cnlinko’s patented waterproof structure and have excellent waterproof performance. The products are equipped with IP65/IP67 waterproof level as standard and up to IP68 waterproof level. Meanwhile, its shell is made of high quality zinc alloy and aluminum alloy with salt spray test performance ≥ 48 H. This ensures that DH20 series waterproof connectors meet the performance requirements of waterproof and anti-corrosion in the medical environment inside the ambulance and operate more reliably.
02. Durability of DH20
DH20 series waterproof connectors are more durable. In the shell design, the use of proprietary alloy all-metal structure, the surface is chrome-plated, anodized, high compression and impact strength, can withstand the various impacts and knocks that may occur in the medical rescue environment. In the design of the connection structure, DH series uses a three-point spiral locking connection design, locking solid, separation force of not less than 100N, to ensure that the connector will not accidentally fall off or disconnect, and Separation more smoothly.
01. Safety of DH20
DH series industrial connectors have obtained GBT34989 (CQC), UL, IEC61984 (TUV) and other certifications from China, the United States and the European Union in many countries, with high safety performance of electrical isolation, insulation impedance of 500MΩ, which is greater than the relevant standard of 100MΩ. At the same time, the connector material meets CE, RoHS, REACH and other environmental standards, and does not contain lead, mercury, cadmium and other Harmful heavy metals, to meet the ambulance medical equipment on the accessories of environmental technology requirements.
02. Small Temperature Change More Stable Performance
The heat sources of industrial connectors is mainly for the contact part. Cnlinko’s DH 3-pin connector’s contact impedance is only 1.0MΩ, generating very little heat, while in the internal structure of the connector, DH waterproof connector using an exclusive patented thermal structure design, with sufficient heat dissipation area and heat dissipation channels, stronger heat dissipation. It is the addition of these technologies, so DH connectors are with excellent temperature performance, its temperature rise value≤30K, more stable performance for a long time in the ambulance.
All plastic Anti-Corrosion YM Series is Also Applicable to Ambulances
In addition to DH series connectors, YM series can also be used in the application of medical equipment ambulances. Both have a full range of connector types, screw-type connection locking, environmental adaptability and other characteristics, basically interchangeable and interoperable.
The biggest difference between the two types of industrial waterproof connectors in terms of material, DH series for all-metal models, while YM series is all plastic models.
YM series industrial waterproof connector is with high-performance outdoor engineering plastic material, although the vibration and shock resistance is slightly inferior to the all-metal DH series, but its corrosion resistance is more outstanding. When the user of the connector vibration and shock resistance claims higher priority, you can prefer vibration DH series waterproof connector, and vice versa, if the salt spray corrosion resistance claims higher priority, it is recommended to choose the corrosion resistance strength YM series Industrial connectors.
Cnlinko is a national high-tech enterprise and national “small giant” enterprise focusing on industrial connector research and development and production, always adhere to the high-end quality, the original design and for building their own brand. Its products are sold in more than 180 countries and regions at home and abroad markets. Now Cnlinko has LP, BD, YM, DH and other dozens of industrial connector product series, covering multi-pin, RJ45, USB2.0, USB3.0, HDMI, optical fiber and other full types, involving power connection, signal connection, data connection and other product functions, and has obtained UL, TUV, CQC and other certification of China, the United States, the European Union, in line with CE, RoHS, REACH and other environmental standards, It meets the environmental standards of CE, RoHS, REACH, etc. It can fully meet the comprehensive technical requirements of users from all walks of life for waterproof connectors.
