Guidelines To Choosing Custom Cable Assembly

• In medical device industry, there is very little
  or no room for error that can be accepted as
  compared to other industries. Medical devices are
  highly sensitive equipments and wire assemblies
  are an important component for these devices.

Choose the best
Medical wire assemblies are used to connect
medical and laboratory instruments and
equipments. Cable Assembly by Peters Technology
is manufactured in ISO 13485 certified facility
and are highly functional.

Know the tips
Guidelines The medical Cable Assembly used in
medical devices should be carefully chosen so
that they meet exact standards.

1. Shielding
2. Environment
3. Circuits or conductors
4. Primary insulations
5. Twisting of conductors
6. Outer sheath
7. Connectors
8. Safety certifications

• 1. Shielding
• Wire assemblies may have a type of
  electromagnetic shielding material that is
  wrapped around the wire assemblies. Shielding
  helps to prevent electrical noise that affects
  the transmitted signal and reduces
  electromagnetic radiation emission from the wire.
  It typically involves foil shield and braid
  shield.
• 2. Environment
• While choosing a wire assembly, companies should
  consider the environment where it will be used.
  Whether it will be used in a harsh environment or
  in a clean room environment or it will be used in
  a place where it would get exposed to sunlight or
  moisture.

3. Circuits or conductors The number and type of
circuits which are included in an assembly
depends on the application in which it will be
used. A variety of options are available for the
type of conductive material and the stranding
used to construct the circuit. Options are also
available for the types of plating that are
applied to the conductive material. Copper is
the most versatile and widely used conductor
material. 4. Primary insulations The amount of
voltage that the wire assemblies will need to
carry determines the type of insulation to be
used. The material, thickness and the type that
are used for the insulation of the conductor
depends on the application in which it will be
used. Insulators are available in Thermoset or
Thermoplastic compositions

5. Twisting of conductors Twisting of cables is
done to cancel out the EMI or Electromagnetic
Interference from external sources. EMI may give
rise to noise problems with wires in certain
applications. Twisted pairs of wire should be
considered for assemblies that are to be used for
data signal transmission. 6. Outer sheath
After the construction of the cable core, an
outer sheath also called a jacket is applied
acting as a protective cover. An outer sheath
protects the wires from harsh environments,
allows movement of wires both during installation
and during the life cycle of the equipment and
makes it chemically resistant. PVC is a cost
effective and widely used compound for this
purpose.

7. Connectors The type and speed of signal that
is transmitted determines the choice of
connectors. There are many options available when
it comes to connectors to be used for assemblies.
For example if a high speed signal needs to be
transmitted, solder or welded type connector is a
good option. 8. Safety certifications Location
is an important factor where the wire harness
will be used. Assemblies need to comply with the
safety certifications and environmental standards
that are regarded as law in a specific region.
While choosing wire harnesses, companies should
check the manufacturers current regulatory
certifications like UL, CSA, IEC, FDA, ISO etc.

Associate with the best   However, the best
custom cable manufacturer meets these guidelines
required for medical device industry and medical
device manufacturing companies should avail their
services for their applications.
