FASTENER-LESS EDGE LAUNCH CONNECTOR FOR MR-COMPATIBLE MEDICAL MONITORING

Title:

FASTENER-LESS EDGE LAUNCH CONNECTOR FOR MR-COMPATIBLE MEDICAL MONITORING

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2009/107010

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

A robust MR compatible ECG monitor (40) includes a connector (50) for connecting ECG electrode leads (44) to an internal circuit board (52). The connector (50) includes connector pins (54) that run parallel to the circuit board (52) and tangentially contact solder pads (56) of the circuit board (52) at the edge of the circuit board (52), eliminating sharp or right angle turns in conduction paths. The connector prevents movement of the connections due to mechanical stresses in all ranges of motion relative to four degrees of freedom, including translation, pitching, yawing, and rolling.
