1) Safety & Compliance
High insulation with safe creepage/clearance design. Layouts are engineered to meet medical-grade spacing requirements to reduce the risk of electric shock for patients and clinicians.
Ingress protection matched to use case. When properly mated, assemblies can achieve up to IP66/67 for wash-down and splash-prone environments. Unmated protection may be lower (e.g., IP50); protective caps are available.
Standards-oriented quality system. Production aligns to ISO 13485:2016 (medical devices), ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949 for automotive-level quality controls.
Material and environmental compliance. RoHS-conforming options available; UL recognition and CE Declaration of Conformity documentation can be provided per model where applicable.
Note: CE is a manufacturer’s declaration rather than a third-party “certificate.” Always refer to the model’s Declaration of Conformity and test reports for the exact scope.
2) Reliability & Electrical Performance
Long service life
Precision latching hardware and quality contact plating support ≥1,000 mating cycles in typical medical use, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Stable signal integrity
Contacts use copper-alloy pins with gold plating to minimize contact resistance and micro-fretting, helping preserve clean ECG/EEG/EMG signals and high-resolution imaging data.
Realistic current ratings. Typical signal contacts support 2–7 A per contact depending on size and layout. Dedicated power layouts in larger shells can support higher currents; confirm with the specific datasheet and temperature-rise curves.
Thermal performance. Operating temperatures up to ≈125 °C (model-dependent) support long duty cycles in devices with internal heat sources.
Vibration-resistant push-pull latch. The self-locking mechanism resists accidental unplugging from movement, impact or cable drag.
3) Sterilization & Materials
Shells are molded from medical-grade PSU (polysulfone family), selected for its high heat resistance and chemical durability. Assemblies are compatible with common hospital processes such as steam autoclave or gas sterilization, with testing demonstrating 100+ cycles when used within specified limits and with approved cleaning agents.
Tip: Always match sterilization temperature, exposure time and chemicals to the exact polymer/contact/backshell configuration listed in the product datasheet.
4) Usability & High-Density Design
Instant, one-handed operation. Push to lock, pull the sleeve to release—ideal for fast turnaround in ORs, ICUs and emergency care.
Lightweight & compact. Plastic shells reduce device mass and enable high-density panel layouts (solder or PCB terminations), supporting miniaturization and modular system designs.
MOCO P-Series Overview
The MOCO P-Series plastic push-pull family offers multiple shell sizes (approx. outer diameters around M10 / M14 / M17 classes) and a range of pin counts and keying options. Models are available with straight or right-angle terminations, cable or panel variants, and protective accessories (backshells, caps, seals). UL-recognized variants are available—check the specific model for details.

Clarifications & Corrections (Technical Accuracy)
Ingress Protection: Rather than saying “IP50–66,” we specify: up to IP66/67 when mated with the correct backshell/gasket; unmated may be IP50. Exact rating is model- and configuration-specific.
Current Ratings: “30 A” can be misleading for small medical signal layouts. We present realistic ranges: 2–7 A per signal contact, with higher currents possible only in dedicated power layouts of larger shells. Always verify the model’s rating.
CE wording: CE is a manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity, not a third-party “certificate.” We adjusted the phrasing accordingly.
Series naming: The “OP/1P/2P” text can confuse readers. We instead describe the P-Series by shell size classes (≈M10/M14/M17 OD) and advise checking the exact datasheet codes.
MRI note: We added “non-magnetic options” for MRI-adjacent use because standard ferromagnetic parts are not MRI-safe.
