Good connector: Building a strong “life transmission line” for portable oxygen concentrators

With the increasing demand for "mobility and convenience" in the medical and health field, high-end portable oxygen concentrators have become important equipment for home oxygen therapy, outdoor first aid and other scenarios due to their flexible usage scenarios. As a key carrier for power transmission and core component connection of oxygen concentrators, the performance of connectors directly affects the stability and safety of equipment operation. The LCC30 connector launched by Amass, with its comprehensive advantages of high pressure resistance, vibration resistance, high current carrying capacity, and small size, accurately matches the demanding requirements of high-end portable oxygen concentrators, providing reliable guarantee for "life oxygen supply".

380V high-voltage resistant design, safeguarding the electrical safety of medical equipment

In order to achieve efficient oxygen concentration output, high-end portable oxygen concentrators require core components such as internal compressors and molecular sieves to operate in high voltage environments. If traditional connectors have insufficient high voltage resistance, they are prone to safety hazards such as insulation breakdown and leakage, which seriously threaten the health of users.

From material selection to structural design, the Amass LCC30 series connectors comprehensively enhance their high voltage resistance performance: the shell is made of high voltage resistant epoxy resin material, with an insulation strength of 15kV/mm, and can stably withstand a rated voltage of 380V; At the same time, by optimizing the internal creepage distance and electrical clearance, the risk of arc discharge under high voltage is eliminated, fully complying with GB 9706.1-2020 "Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Basic Performance". According to test data from a medical equipment manufacturer, the portable oxygen concentrator equipped with this series of connectors maintained an insulation resistance of over 100M Ω during continuous 72 hour 380V high-voltage operation testing, without any leakage or performance degradation, laying the "first line of defense" for the safe operation of the equipment.

Self locking buckle+anti vibration structure to cope with vibration challenges in multiple scenarios

Portable oxygen concentrators often accompany users to move around in home, outdoor, transportation and other scenarios. The bumps and vibrations during the journey can easily cause traditional connector interfaces to loosen, leading to equipment shutdown or oxygen concentration fluctuations, posing great risks for patients who rely on continuous oxygen supply.
The LCC30 series connector innovatively adopts a dual anti vibration design of "self-locking buckle+elastic contact finger": the buckle automatically engages and locks during docking, and the insertion and extraction force is stable at 40-50N, which can resist wideband vibrations of 50-2000Hz; The internal elastic contact finger is made of beryllium copper material, which has excellent elastic recovery ability and can maintain close contact with the terminal even under high-frequency vibration, ensuring uninterrupted current transmission. In the simulated outdoor mobile scenario test, the oxygen concentrator equipped with this connector can stably output 93% ± 3% oxygen concentration after 2 hours of bumpy transportation, without any performance fluctuations caused by loose connections. Medical staff from a certain emergency center provided feedback: "During the process of transporting patients by ambulance, the oxygen generator equipped with LCC30 connector has never stopped, which has saved valuable time for emergency treatment.

Copper silver plated conductor+small volume, balancing high current carrying capacity and portability

High end portable oxygen concentrators not only need to meet the high current requirements of high-power components, but also need to control the body size to ensure portability, which poses a dual test on the "current carrying capacity" and "space adaptability" of connectors.
The LCC30 series connectors use T2 copper silver plated conductors. Under the same cross-sectional area, the conductivity of copper is more than twice that of traditional brass, and it can stably transmit high currents of 15-30A. The temperature rise is controlled within 25 ℃ at the rated current of 30A to avoid affecting the service life of internal components due to heat generation; At the same time, adopting a compact structural design, the volume is reduced by 35% compared to traditional connectors with the same energy, and the minimum model size is only 18mm × 12mm × 8mm, which can be easily embedded in the narrow space inside the oxygen concentrator without occupying additional volume. The product manager of a certain oxygen concentrator company said, "After being equipped with LCC30 connector, our portable model maintains a lightweight design of 1.5kg while increasing the oxygen flow rate to 5L/min, meeting the dual needs of patients for high oxygen concentration and portability. After the product was launched, its market share increased by 18%. ”
Under the development trend of "portability and high reliability" in medical equipment, the Amass LCC30-F/LCC30PB-M connector has solved the core pain points of high-end portable oxygen concentrators in terms of safety, stability, and space adaptation through targeted technological innovation. As a key carrier of the "life transmission line", this series of connectors not only enhances the performance and safety of portable oxygen concentrators, but also promotes the technological upgrade of core components of mobile medical equipment, injecting new impetus into the convenient development of the medical and health field.
