When designing new medical devices, one of the decisions faced by medical device manufacturers may be to choose a connector or matching socket, and it is a viable choice for some common devices to use standard connector products. As for other special application equipment, it may be more appropriate to choose custom or hybrid connectors. Customized connector products usually include engineering technology and mold manufacturing costs, and these upfront costs may become one of the factors in choosing a customized connector solution. However, when the cost of the connector design and mold is determined, the cost of the customized connector product is usually lower than the unit price of the ready-made connector product. However, choosing off-the-shelf connector products generally has a transparent unit price in the market, and the price will be high.

Choosing customized and off-the-shelf connector products is different from:

1. Customize logos or other markings according to customer requirements;
2. A unique design is required to ensure that only specific cables or connectors can be plugged into the equipment;
3. It is necessary to carry multiple signal types in a single connector, such as: high voltage, low voltage, high bandwidth, data, thermocouple, etc.;
4. To better meet the cost targets of medical devices;
5. The unique pin socket pattern or connector shape is used to prevent incompatible connector products from being inserted, and the purpose is to improve the safety of medical devices.
6. The shape of the connector product selected must be selected according to the shape of the medical device;
