Lumen Chips

The SMD white light source

Kyocera, Bedford, NH, has expanded its range of high-lumen white light sources. The lifetime of its 500 lumen chips has been increased to 10,000 hours. The luminous flux of SMD white light sources has been doubled to 1,000 lumens. According to the company, this offers crucial advantages for applications in which the light is transmitted via a fiber. In medical endoscopes, for example, the extremely high luminous flux and small beam diameter mean that even thinner fibers can be used. All white light sources are available on a 7 × 7 mm SMD housing. They can also be supplied with a starboard and with integrated safety functions upon request.

Safety Clips for Connectors

New safety clips for the 620 and 720 series

A new accessory for miniature and subminiature connectors is available from Binder, Camarillo, CA. New safety clips for the 620 and 720 series increase the security of circular connectors in applications where reliability is critical. The clips feature three snap-in lugs that produce an audible click to confirm when the connector is properly latched. For additional protection, these locking clips can also be fastened with cable ties. Additionally, connecting and disconnecting can be done quickly, using just one hand. They are ideal for medical applications such as patient monitoring equipment, ventilators, dosing pumps, voice/sound systems used in MRI machines, ultrasonic and electrical therapies, and sleep polygraph equipment where it is crucial that connections are not interrupted or loosened.
