Veteran Medical Connector Gets New Life

REDEL XP garners position as a revolutionary version of the plastic push-pull connectors originally introduced to the medical market in 1964. The newly-patented component employs a plastic material that better withstands sterilization processes. Its latching system is embedded in the shell for higher impact resistance with a high contact density. The connector is available with four different keyways to prevent inadvertent cross connects or misconnects. Outer-shell color is gray with an option for white or black. Backnuts and receptacle front nuts are also available in seven colors and contact configurations range from 4 to 22 contacts and can be crimp or solder types. LEMO USA, Rohnert Park, CA.
