Connector Grease for Medical Applications

As microelectronics proliferate in the MedTech industry, medical devices become more effective, efficient, and interoperable, while shrinking in size. At the same time, risk management and compliance with global quality standards grows in importance. Thus, electrical connectors, switches, cables and contacts are more numerous, but smaller and more complex. Additionally, hospital and field deployment environments offer challenges due to exposure to moisture, dust, corrosive reagents, and sterilizing conditions.

Connector greases that protect against these conditions, or decrease insertion force without affecting signal integrity, may mitigate risk while lengthening useful life by reducing wear.
