“Molex has developed non-magnetic contact versions to meet the demands of the medical imaging market,” says Darren Schauer, Molex Product Manager, adding, “In the medical imaging field, interconnects made of ferrous materials can degrade image quality. Our affordable, high-performance, ferrous-free solutions actually improve granularity and quality, producing clearer and more accurate images, which adds significant value for manufacturers of MRI systems and other diagnostic imaging equipment.”
The new non-magnetic RF contacts and modules have been designed to be compatible with connector types and meet the performance requirements of leading IRM equipment manufacturers. They are also offered at a more affordable price than non-magnetic versions from other vendors. The non-magnetic RF product range includes:
• Single male and female MMCX connectors
• 6-piece MMCX male and female PCB connector module
• 8-piece SSMCX rectangular male and female PCB connector module
• 8-piece SSMCX connector module for RG178 coaxial cable
• Cable assemblies for the series
In addition, most other Molex standard RF contacts and modules, as well as cable assemblies and custom configurations, are also available in non-magnetic (i.e., ferrous-free) versions upon request. Lead times are typically 8 weeks for standard in-stock products, depending on quantity and configuration, and 8 to 12 weeks for custom configurations.
