Innovative connectors that go beyond the standard

     While standard products from adhesive combinations are suitable for most applications, they may only be suitable for some. In these cases, the solution expertise of the manufacturer located in neckarsumm comes into play in the form of dedicated connectors that are perfectly suited to the application. Customers benefit from the company's excellent vertical integration and six decades of design and engineering experience. For example, customer-specific development examples can be found in the medical device and plant engineering departments.

     The company provides industrial circular connectors according to customer needs, developing and manufacturing professional connectivity solutions. The focus is on use cases with special needs beyond the typical range, so no one adhesive catalog product meets all criteria. These applications can be reliably implemented with custom solutions from neckarsulm experts. Binder has extensive expertise and more than 60 years of experience in the design and development of connectors, and has a long history of working with customers to create personal connectivity solutions based on their ideas.

     For the benefit of customers, the company provides design, tools, manufacturing, assembly and automation from a single source. Through its affiliates, the manufacturer has additional expertise in stamping, turning, casting parts and galvanizing, PCB design and component assembly. In addition, custom products of adhesives are qualified in the company's laboratory.

     With the help of failure mode and impact analysis (FMEA), key design and production challenges can be identified early. Sample assembly and preliminary testing in the company's laboratory support the optimization and quality assurance of customized products, as well as the monitoring and approval of pilot series production by the quality project manager. The ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and EN ISO 13485:2016 + AC:2018 + A11:2021 certifications emphasize the company's quality and environmental management capabilities.

     The target market for the company's customized products is as diverse as the company's customers. Examples of applications include health and medical device technology, industrial automation, metrology and control. For example, a typical requirement in medical device engineering is that the connectors must be different. Interfaces must be unique to prevent mismatch. In addition, when selecting component materials, resistance to certain liquids can be considered at the design stage. Potential medical applications include respiratory and dialysis equipment, ultrasound and electrotherapy instruments, infusion pumps, and contrast syringes.

     For patient monitoring applications, binder has developed a modular 12-pin connector system consisting of a panel mount plug and eight panel mount sockets (Series 970). Reliability is a key design criterion. Although the socket is integrated into the housing of the patient monitor, the plug is part of a pluggable parameter module. The concentric arrangement of the contacts ensures that the plug connection is automatically centered when fitting without removing the protective cap.
