PRODUCT OF THE MONTH
n Easy Locking Cable Connectors
Snap-in Connectors from Binder, Camarillo, CA, are designed to meet the specific electromechanical
connectivity requirements for use in medical devices. Biocompatible, non-irritating to skin, and resistant to
disinfectants, the Series 570 Easy Locking Connector (ELC) consists of two assemblies that automatically
snap into place. An asymmetric hexagon shape in the mating area aligns the plug to the socket to prevent
mismating, while snap-in hooks ensure effective locking. The locked parts can only be separated with a spe2022

Finalist
cial detachment tool, preventing unintended disconnection by the user. The connector protects to IP54 against dust, splashing water, and
accidental electrical contact, making it suitable for hygienically sensitive environments.

Product Focus: Test & Measurement
n Software Tracker Module
Instron, Norwood, MA, has released a
module in Bluehill Central that is designed
to accelerate data analysis workflow of single
or multi-location materials testing laboratories.
The TrendTracker includes an intuitive
interface that enables operators to quickly search, display,
and analyze results over time and across multiple samples and test
systems. Frames can automatically send test results to a centralized
database to be viewed in Bluehill Central. The module's statistical
process control (SPC) tools make it easier to identify and remediate
inconsistencies in a manufacturing process. Customizable
searches query the database for data and display it using sortable
tables and a variety of control charts.

n Environmental Particle Counter
Triplett Test Equipment, Manchester, NH, has
released a compact and portable tool for indoor
air quality (IAQ) testing in cleanroom and other
sensitive applications. Model EPC600 Environmental
Particle Counter can simultaneously measure
six channels of particle sizes down to 0.3 µm
of methane, propane, butane, ammonia, carbon
monoxide, and many other substances. It can also
measure air temperature, humidity, dew point,
and wet bulb. It features a 2.8-in. color thin-film-transistor (TFT) display.
A built-in camera (320 × 240) captures both JPEG images and
3GP video and can store up to 5000 records with date/time, counts,
temperature, humidity, sample volume, alarms, and location label.

n Medical Power Supply
Cosel, San Jose, CA, has expanded its
medical power offering with the addition of
a 1500 W version to its PJMA series. The
1500 W PJMA1500F has a universal input
range of 85-264 VAC and complies with international
safety standards. Designed for demanding medical applications,
the PJMA series is suitable for body floating (BF) applications and
complies with 2MOPP (IN/OUT) and 1MOPP (OUT/FG) safety requirements.
Based on a robust platform, the unit's design has been optimized for
medical applications requiring a high-quality power solution. The PJMA
series is available in four output voltages: 12, 24, 36, and 48 VDC.

n Video-Based Measurement
Systems
L.S. Starrett, Athol, MA, offers videobased
measurement systems that combine
high-resolution images, intuitive software,
and precision mechanical platforms. Automatic
edge detection or video edge detection
removes operator subjectivity in locating edges of parts being
measured, enabling go/no-go comparisons to an engineering design,
with no need for Mylar overlays. The HD400 Horizontal Dual Lens
Comparator offers a two-lens mount, enabling instant switching between
two magnification lenses or a video camera adapter. The recently
enhanced AVR300 Multi-Sensor Vision System, features a large field
of view (FOV) and is ideal for repetitive measurements and automatic
comparison to CAD files.

n Miniature Solenoid Valves
Emerson, St. Louis, MO, offers a line of miniature solenoid
valves designed for use with air and inert gases.
Their compact, lightweight architecture and low power
consumption make the ASCO Series 090 ideal for portable
medical devices. The valves' service lifetime of over
50 million cycles significantly increases OEM instrument
reliability. The three-way valve configuration enables
lighter, more space-efficient solutions for gas control in
oxygen therapy, compression therapy, and gas analyzer
devices. The valve body is molded from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT)
plastic, with seals made of durable fluorocarbon (FKM) elastomer.

n 2D Measurement System
Exact Metrology, Brookfield, WI, offers a 2D
inspection machine that allows manufacturers
to verify product quality simply and quickly by
performing 2D inspection, CAD comparisons,
and reverse engineering in seconds. The
InspecVision Planar system requires minimal
operator input. Applications include flat and
folded/formed sheet metal components, gaskets and seals, laminations,
O-rings, paper acetate and electronic drawings, and other opaque
and semi-transparent flat materials. Existing parts can be reverse engineered
quickly, creating dxf or dwg CAD files. The software allows users
to edit and clean data such as standardization of hole sizes.
