The challenge
The customer was paying a premium for a branded LEMO 1B multi-pin connector on a reusable endoscope camera cable. Lead times of 14+ weeks were disrupting production schedules, and the assembly had to survive repeated steam sterilization without signal degradation.
The HiHarness solution
- Cross-referenced the existing LEMO FGG.1B.307 to a HiHarness FFF-equivalent push-pull connector with identical keying and mating cycles.
- Specified medical-grade silicone overmolding rated for repeated autoclave sterilization.
- Used 42 AWG micro-coax with matched shielding to preserve HD image signal integrity.
- 100% Hipot and continuity testing on every assembly with full traceability.
“The equivalent assembly dropped straight into our existing housing with zero design changes and cleared our sterilization validation on the first pass.”
