ISO 18250-3 Figure C.6 Female Reference Connector

Role of the Figure C.6 Female Reference Connector in Testing

The ISO 18250-3 Figure C.6 Female Reference Connector is used as the defined female mating connector in test configurations involving male enteral reservoir connectors. During testing, the customer’s male sample connector is assembled with the Figure C.6 reference connector so that the connection interface can be evaluated under the required leakage or mechanical performance conditions.

This reference connector is not only a dimensional checking part. It forms part of a functional test setup where the mating condition, connection stability and resistance to separation are important to the final evaluation. For this reason, the correct reference connector direction must be confirmed before quotation or testing.

KINGPO supplies the Figure C.6 female reference connector as a precision-machined stainless steel component for ISO 18250-3 related connector verification. The final test setup may require additional leakage, force or torque fixtures depending on the selected test item.

What This ISO 18250-3 Figure C.6 Connector Is Used For

The Figure C.6 female reference connector is mainly used when the tested sample is a matching male enteral reservoir connector. It provides the required female reference interface for checking whether the sample connector can maintain the intended connection performance during laboratory testing.

Typical use cases include:

• Male enteral reservoir connector verification
• Reservoir delivery system connector compatibility checking
• Leakage test setup with a defined female mating connector
• Mechanical separation resistance evaluation
• Unscrewing resistance related test configuration
• Overriding resistance related test configuration
• Product validation and quality control for enteral connector designs

The applicable test item, pressure condition, force condition or torque condition should be confirmed according to the selected ISO 18250-3 test requirement.

Testing Setup Notes

The Figure C.6 female reference connector is normally used together with the customer’s male sample connector and the required auxiliary test equipment. The complete setup may vary depending on whether the project involves leakage testing, axial separation testing, unscrewing testing or overriding evaluation.

For leakage-related tests, the pressure source, test medium and sealing method should be confirmed before configuring the setup. For mechanical tests, the required force or torque application method should be reviewed together with the sample structure.

This product should therefore be selected by figure number and mating direction, not only by product name.

Configuration and Documentation Notes

The connector is manufactured from stainless steel and intended for repeated laboratory handling when properly used, cleaned and stored. Because ISO 18250-3 connector tests may involve different test methods, customers should confirm whether they need only the Figure C.6 female reference connector or a complete test configuration.

Documentation requirements can be discussed before order. Depending on the project, dimensional inspection records, material information or other supporting documents may be prepared according to the agreed supply scope.
