ISO 80369-7 Figure C.2 Male Reference Luer Slip Connector

ISO 80369-7 Figure C.2 Male Reference Luer Slip Connector

The ISO 80369-7 Figure C.2 Male Reference Luer Slip Connector is a precision reference connector used as the mating interface when evaluating female Luer connectors. It is not a general plug gauge and should not be confused with the ISO 80369-7 Male Plug Gauge or the Figure C.4 Male Reference Luer Lock Connector.

In a typical test setup, the female Luer connector sample is connected to the Figure C.2 male reference Luer slip connector. The assembled connection is then used with the applicable ISO 80369-7 and ISO 80369-20 test procedure, depending on whether the customer needs leakage, separation, stress cracking or non-interconnectability evaluation.

Key Drawing Notes

Based on the ISO 80369-7 Figure C.2 drawing, the following points are important for product selection and test configuration:

Only confirmed drawing dimensions should be shown on the final product page. If the customer requires material, hardness, dimensional verification or documentation, these items should be confirmed before quotation.

How It Is Used and What It Tests

Typical Use Procedure

1. Confirm that the sample is a female Luer connector and that ISO 80369-7 Figure C.2 is the required reference connector.
2. Mate the female connector sample with the Figure C.2 male reference Luer slip connector.
3. Install the assembled connection into the required ISO 80369 test setup.
4. Apply the specified pressure, axial load, stress condition or non-interconnectability check according to the selected test method.
5. Record the result according to the applicable test procedure.
6. After testing, clean and protect the reference connector to avoid scratches, contamination or deformation.

Typical Test Applications

The Figure C.2 reference connector may be used in test configurations related to:

• Leakage evaluation
• Separation from axial load
• Stress cracking evaluation
• Non-interconnectable characteristics
• Female Luer connector design verification
• Routine quality control of Luer connector assemblies

The exact pressure, load, time and test condition should be confirmed according to the applicable ISO 80369 test method and the customer’s sample design.

• Suitable for R&D validation, laboratory testing and factory quality control
• Can be used with suitable ISO 80369-20 leakage, air leakage or axial load test equipment

Operation and Handling Notes

The Figure C.2 connector should be handled as a precision reference component, not as a general production connector.

• Confirm the required figure number before testing.
• Do not replace Figure C.2 with Figure C.4 or Figure C.6 unless the test procedure clearly requires another male reference connector.
• Confirm whether the sample is a female Luer slip connector, female Luer lock connector or another specified female connector configuration.
• Keep the mating surface clean and free from visible scratches.
• Do not force the reference connector into an incompatible sample.
• Avoid impact, corrosion or contamination during storage and use.
• Store the connector in a protective case after testing.
• Confirm whether dimensional verification or documentation is required for laboratory use.

Who Needs This Connector

This customer profile helps separate the C.2 page from the complete ISO 80369-7 Luer Gauge Set page. The C.2 page is for users who already know they need the Figure C.2 male reference Luer slip connector for a female Luer connector test.
