When it comes to custom design, there’s an additional value: teamwork. Only an intelligent and sensible combination of talent and technology allows us to turn any customer idea and imagination into reality. This is a very special challenge and one of PRECI-DIP’s main assets. An advantage that sets our custom-designed solutions apart from those of competitors all around the world.

Turnkey and reliable ideas for medical interconnect devices.

PRECI-DIP has developed breakthrough innovations in medical interconnect technologies, including applications for handheld monitoring devices, hearing aids, personal glucose monitors, defibrillators, X-ray, pacemakers and ultrasound scanners, and many others. Using advanced materials, we have also developed and produced lead-free contacts, meeting RoHS-3 requirements. Our production facilities meet stringent cleanliness requirements, fulfilling our commitment to developing and providing the best in medical market solutions.

Low-profile Target Pads for Glucose Monitoring

PRECI-DIP has proven experience designing Low-Profile Landing Pads to connect wearable glucose monitoring devices. The limited vertical space available in this glucose sensor conducts PRECI-DIP to propose a miniature custom THT disc-shaped terminal. To manufacture those brass pads PRECI-DIP combines high-precision machining allowing tight tolerancing in terms of roughness and coplanarity as well as high-quality in-house gold plating.

High-reliability Spring Pins in Respiratory Devices

PRECI-DIP spring-loaded connectors are used within respiratory devices to allow blind mating assembly of printed circuit boards. They are also used to connect the battery of the device. Those spring pins are using high-performance PRECI-DIP technology featuring an elastic clip to connect the piston to the barrel of the spring-loaded contact.
This maintains high signal integrity as well as carrying power through the spring contact without any discontinuity even during shocks or vibrations. This spring pin design is unique to PRECI-DIP.

Lead-free in Miniature Socket Contacts

The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) lead-free directive now incorporates medical electronics. Even if there is an exemption for machined contact with brass, PRECI-DIP already proposes lead-free interconnect solutions to its customers. 

PRECI-DIP designs and machines miniature socket contacts for hearing aids. Those contacts are:

• made of a lead-free brass barrel and an elastic clip. 
• plated nickel free as they would be in contact with the patient skin. 
• assembled automatically assuring 100% the integrity of the assembly.

Miniature Interconnections in Pacemakers

PRECI-DIP designs and manufactures connectors for life-or-death performance-linked products. In fact, PRECI-DIP contacts and miniature connectors are used to connect printed circuit boards in pacemakers and defibrillators.
For this PRECI-DIP ensures high-precision machining, automatic assembly, and control of key features and dimensions for each connector delivered. PRECI-DIP also develops special automatic processes to enhance connector cleanliness fulfilling customer specifications.

Sterilizable and Autoclavable Connectors

Sterilizable and Autoclavable Connectors for Medical Applications must be designed specifically to maintain reliable connectivity over time. Standard gold plating even in thick layers is typically not strong enough to avoid corrosion of the electrical contacts.

For the highest durability requirements, PRECI-DIP has designed specific nickel-free plating to withstand those corrosive cleaning agents. This unique plating is protecting our pin, pads, socket and spring-loaded contacts.

PRECI-DIP Connection Technology

Custom design is our main strength, and your advantage, when your ideas need a development partner. Vast experience with countless standard products and more than 20,000 references. Everything under one roof worldwide: We master all key processes in-house, from raw materials to finished goods. Passionate talent, igniting visionary team spirit for world-leading quality products from our facilities everywhere. That is the PRECI-DIP difference.
