Tips for Designing Custom Cable Assemblies Used in Medical Diagnostics Equipment
All electronic medical devices use a cable harness to pass power, data, or both. Whether its high-resolution video being rendered on a display in an exam room or the probes measuring a patient’s vitals in the ER, custom cable assemblies are critical to the success of the global health industry. Epec’s medical device product expertise covers both extruded bulk wire as well as overmolding and IPC-certified assembly.
With countless material options, connector designs, and cord types to choose from, engineers can get tips from an experienced full-service supplier like Epec.
In this webinar, we will walk through the real-world design considerations that influence cable assembly performance in medical diagnostics equipment. Topics will include connector selection, insulation and jacket materials that can withstand repeated cleaning and sterilization, and wire options suitable for direct patient contact. We will also cover overmolding design choices that help improve strain relief, durability, and long-term reliability in medical environments, with practical guidance that engineers can apply early in the design cycle.
