Special SMB Adapter Allows .060 Axial Shift

Sometimes the most effective and economical design for a piece of equipment requires a custom adapter to function. Aviel Electronics recently designed such an SMB jack adapter. The CO-SMB-JKMA-3P01 is a panel-mount with a modified interface to allow external sealing and a .060 axial shift when mated with a standard off-the-shelf SMB plug. This special adapter allows RF electrical connection to a non-standard unit, thereby permitting the use of standard off-the-shelf RF connectors.

Most times when a standard connector cannot be used it is due to special mechanical or electrical requirements.

Conduit-Ready cable makes home wiring easy

In the home entertainment market we see a large demand for conduit-ready VGA (video graphics array) or RGB cables. These cables are used to connect computers, projectors, monitors and flatscreens. In the past, most people who used these cables were audio-video contractors and installers who used them in sports bars and presentation halls. Many adventurous homeowners are now purchasing them for their home theaters, with the simplicity of doing it themselves with conduit-ready cable.

Conduit is run through walls, ceilings and floors, usually with several sweeping bends. This is typically done during the construction or remodeling phase of a building. The conduit is metal or PVC tubing, large enough to accommodate a VGA connector. This large diameter conduit can be very expensive.

Our conduit-ready VGA cable reduces costs by using smaller diameter conduit and attaching the VGA connector afterward. When all the construction has been completed, our conduit-ready VGA cable is hooked onto a pull-line and drawn through the smaller conduit. Connectors are then attached with a few pins and screws and you’re done! The small additional cost of our conduit ready VGA cable is more than compensated by the savings of using smaller conduit.

This conduit-ready VGA cable is readily available online at www.OddCables.com. You may contact OddCables.com directly at (888)265-2941 or (858)571-5400.

Santoprene Thermoplastics offer advantages for molded cable assemblies in medical applications

Bioconnect uses Santoprene as a primary molding material and outer insulation material in all of standard ECG products. Santoprene is a thermoplastic compound that is processed in much the same way as any type of plastic. The difference is that Santoprene possesses the same levels of flexibility and durability that are commonly found with natural rubber compounds. Santoprene is latex free and hypoallergenic to patients. It has a very soft, yet supple feel, resulting in a pleasant contact with the skin. It is abrasion resistant and does not get slippery when exposed to many fluids. Santoprene is also impervious to most solvents that would be commonly used in the hospital, clinic, and emergency medicine environments. The positive traits of Santoprene also make it a primary component in the fabrication of medical devices to be used in the home environment, such as event recorder cables and exercise and therapy equipment. The choice of Santoprene in the cable jacketing and overmolding materials creates a very solid bond between cables, yoke and flex relief. This increases the products life and helps eliminate places for contaminants and biologics to hide. Santoprene can also be sterilized using most common methods, including gamma radiation, steam and EtO. Santoprene is also easily recycled. After products made with Santoprene have seen better days, the same material can be reprocessed and molded into new products. This easily recycled substance helps eliminate unwanted items ending up in landfills.

Because of the many desirable characteristics of Santoprene, Bioconnect also promotes its use in most of its OEM products that have medical applications, along with automotive and household products.

The connectors range from totally custom to a specific application to a modified version of a standard connector interface to a “standard” reverse polarity interface. Flange mount, crimp and compression cable mounts can be used with uniquely interfaced connector pairs to preclude the possibility of erroneous component mismating. “Coded” pairs can also be fabricated to add further uniqueness within a family of connector components. Materials used in construction are stainless steel, brass or aluminum bodies, beryllium copper contacts with gold, silver or other popular platings available.

Hermetically Sealed Connectors

The Aviel Electronics Division of RF Industries will design and fabricate hermetically sealed connectors to handle your sealing requirements. Once the connector series and body configuration is established, the inner construction of the connector can be designed to supply the sealing required for your operating environment. Sealing can be accomplished by using O-rings, epoxy seals and glass-to-metal seals. Seals can easily withstand air pressures of 100 PSI+ of pressure and helium leak rates of <1 x 10 -8 cc/second of helium tracer gas. Applications can range from moisture resistance sealing, space applications, material detection systems, isolation of volatile materials, and altitude problems. Connectors can be supplied in configurations from small custom designs through SMA, TNC, N, SC and HN sizes, and in body configurations from bulkhead, screw-in, flange mount, and press-in designs.

Shielded, Fixed Lead Patient Cables

These unitized patient cables offer an effective, easily connected to patient, cable system, especially in holter and stress monitoring applications where the patient is in motion. Having the lead wires molded into the yoke delivers greater flexibility with extended life use, and, because connections between the shielded leads, trunk cable and yoke are permanently soldered to an internal PC board, artifact and noise is minimized. These cables feature wire jackets, yoke, strain reliefs and snaps molded of Santoprene for patient comfort and ease of cleaning. Santoprene is impervious to most cleaning solutions and solvents, and complies with EtO sterilization guidelines.

Cables are available with standard AHA color coding in three and five lead versions for most popular ECG monitors. Use our Product Search or Cross Reference to locate Bioconnect cables designed for use with your monitor. IEC or custom color coding is available by special order.

Cutomer-Terminated Pigtail Assemblies

There are times and applications where an assembly needs to be run through conduit, panel enclosures or threaded through tight spaces. Having one end open allows installation of the cable itself followed by termination after placement.

When you know one end of the assembly, but are not sure of your length or which connector you need at the other end, our extensive line of pigtail assemblies should meet your requirements. One end is terminated as shown, but the other end is blunt-cut, ready to be stripped and terminated with a connector of your choice.

To determine your cable assembly part number, simply replace the XX at the end of the number shown with the length in inches you require. The cost of your assembly will then be quoted based upon that length. Overall tolerance is +2"-0, from end to end

FCC Part Compliant Connectors and Cable Assemblies

According to FCC Regulations Part 15.203, under certain applications it is illegal to replace a stock antenna with one that provides higher gain. The FCC has issued an edict calling for a unique connector, thereby prohibiting the attachment of any other connector type. Some examples of compliance to this regulation are:

• Reverse Threads
• Reverse Polarity/Reverse Gender
• Non-Standard Threads
• Non-Standard Shells

We offer not only these unique connectors but also a variety of cable assemblies incorporating these connectors. The cable assemblies are available in standard as well as special order lengths.

Reverse Polarity/Reverse Gender connectors satisfy FCC Regulation 15 by switching dielectrics and pins/contacts between genders. For example, a Reverse Gender Male consists of a male body, however, the dielectric and contact are female. Reverse Polarity connectors and adapters will not mate with standard coaxial connectors. To attempt to do so will damage the connector.

Reverse Thread configurations use left-hand threads rather than the Standard Unified Screw Thread.

The Non-Standard Threads/Shells category incorporates two methods of modifications: extended metric threads and modified shells. The metric threads on the TNCs are incorporated on both females and males preventing interface with regular connectors. Because female metric threads are elongated, interface with a quick-disconnect male connector is prevented.

If you have any additional requirements falling under Regulation 115 which meet our minimum quantity requirements, our design engineering and production team can provide custom connectors made to your specifications.
