Portable memory receptacles sealed to IP67
Nexus GB, the exclusive UK distributor of Datakey Electronics' portable memory products, will show its entire range of tokens and receptacles at the MedTec exhibition and conference (Birmingham NEC, 27/28 April 2010). In the medical device design industry, these products find applications ranging from anti-counterfeit measures and product authentication, through to calibration and limit use. Ruggedised memory keys/tokens and receptacles are also suitable for use in a wide variety of industrial and factory automation applications.
Central to Nexus' stand will be its range of IP67-rated and EMI reduction receptacles. The new product works with the company's proven memory tokens and is suitable for use in harsh environments - even medical applications where devices need to be autoclaved, sterilised or washed down when in use.
The new series, designated the SR4310, is also available in IP-65 (splash-proof) and IP-67-EMI (immersion-rated with ilectromagnetic frequency interference reduction) versions. Victoria Barrett, Nexus' director of PR and marketing, comments: "I think the key for medical OEMs is that this product is a long-term memory solution. Unlike most models of USB memory or camera cards, it will not be obsolete by the time an OEM has brought a design to market. This can be the crux of the issue for medical applications, which are often very long lead-time designs."
Also on show will be Nexus' family of serial development kits that provide all the necessary tools to build a simulated portable data system and test its features and benefits. The basic development kit covers the majority of Nexus' range, while a specialist kit covers its managed memory tokens, which act as USB-style portable data carrier devices without the drawbacks of a consumer-style memory product.
