Simplifying Device Design
with PCB Connectors
A

s medical devices become more complex, designers
must use the available spaces within their devices
more efficiently. Several PCBs often have to be
connected in the tightest of spaces.
Medical technology manufacturers face the challenge
of integrating existing functions and adding new functions
into designs that users are already comfortable with. In
general, the PCB connectors have to meet numerous additional
requirements that are not necessarily specific to the installation
space. New technology for board-to-board connectors can
simplify this integration.
The complexity and integration density of modern applications
do not stop at medical devices. On the contrary, the integration
density and the number of functions in medical devices
will continue to increase. For example, the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control has launched a " Global Digital Health Strategy, "
which aims to improve the availability and use of data in health
systems. The GDHS aligns with the CDC Data Modernization
Initiative. Today's devices are already very complex, but increasing
digitalization will require even more integration with communication,
function extensions, and other advanced features.
Board-to-board connectors commonly connect the PCBs.
Depending on the environment where they are used, medical
devices need to meet a large number of requirements.
These requirements might relate to the electrical and mechanical
connection, compliance with EMC, and the materials
used in the connectors. The different locations and environments
of use (ambulance, air rescue, hospital, MRT, CT,
