Connector-Guided Technologies Help Push the Barriers of Biomedical Sensor Innovation and Perform Precise Medical Procedures

Biomedical sensors are frequently exposed to rigorous operating conditions. Sunkye connectors are meticulously specified to ensure optimal reliability and performance for the entire sensing system, even under extreme duress.

Biomedical applications can be considered one of the most critical use cases for sensors, as they involve the measurement of physiological variables within the human body. Sensors are key components in various medical diagnostic instruments and equipment, with wide applications in medical image analysis, diagnostics (both portable and clinical), and laboratory analytics.

Compared to standard sensors, the role of biomedical sensors goes beyond just sensing - they are responsible for converting biological raw data into digital signals. The biomedical sensor serves as the interface between the living entity and the digital processing system.

To ensure safety and functional reliability, connectors have been developed specifically for biomedical sensor applications. These connectors are designed and engineered to meet the unique requirements of biomedical sensors. They establish a reliable and secure electrical connection between the sensor and the data acquisition or monitoring system, enabling accurate transmission of signals or data from the sensor to the processing device.

When designing connectors for medical use, Sunkye considers various factors, including the base electrical requirements (voltage and current), EMC and shielding needs, and the appropriate materials to meet the environmental requirements. For instance, the connector contacts are made of gold-plated beryllium copper, which offers robust resistance to oxidation and maintains low levels of contact resistance.

The packaging and design of certain biomedical sensors, particularly those intended for in vivo applications, is an important consideration during the connector development process. The connectors must be safe and functionally reliable. For implantable biomedical sensors, the long operational lifetime and biocompatibility of the connector are crucial issues, as the connector will be in direct contact with the body, which may affect its function or the implantation site.

The materials used for the Sunkye connector housing are carefully selected to be non-thrombogenic and non-toxic, such as bio-alloys, polymer materials, and bio-ceramics. These materials play a key role in the overall performance and lifespan of the implantable sensor.

Sunkye's Nano D Connectors are designed to meet the demand for lightness and miniaturization in interconnecting various high-density, small-size, and lightweight electric circuit systems with stringent reliability requirements. These connectors ensure that the signals are transmitted from the sensor's electrodes or transducers to the electronic circuitry of the monitoring or recording device without significant loss or distortion.
