ISO 18250-3 Figure C.4 Cross Reference Connector

Role of the Figure C.4 Cross Reference Connector in Testing

The ISO 18250-3 Figure C.4 Cross Reference Connector is used in test configurations where a cross-port reservoir connector needs to be evaluated under mechanical loading conditions. Unlike C.5 and C.6 reference connectors, which are mainly selected according to male or female mating direction, Figure C.4 is more closely related to cross-port connector structure and mechanical resistance verification.

During testing, the reference connector is used with the customer’s sample and the required fixture so that the connector interface can be subjected to the specified loading condition. This helps evaluate whether the cross-port reservoir connector can maintain the required connection performance when exposed to axial load or overriding-related stress.

KINGPO supplies the Figure C.4 cross reference connector as a precision-machined stainless steel component for ISO 18250-3 related connector verification. The final test configuration should be confirmed according to the customer’s sample structure, test clause and required loading method.

What This ISO 18250-3 Figure C.4 Connector Is Used For

The Figure C.4 cross reference connector is mainly used for cross-port reservoir connector related mechanical test setups. Its role is to provide a defined reference interface so that the sample connector can be evaluated under controlled test conditions.

Typical applications include:

• Cross-port reservoir connector verification
• Reservoir delivery system connector mechanical performance testing
• Resistance to separation from axial load test setup
• Resistance to overriding test setup
• Connector interface stability evaluation
• Product validation for enteral reservoir connector designs
• Laboratory quality control and pre-compliance checking

The exact test method, loading condition and fixture arrangement should be confirmed according to the applicable ISO 18250-3 requirement and the customer’s sample design.

Mechanical Test Setup Notes

Figure C.4 is normally used as part of a mechanical connector test configuration rather than as a standalone measuring tool. For axial load related testing, the sample connector and reference connector need to be aligned and held properly so that the load is applied in the intended direction.

For overriding resistance evaluation, the fixture design and sample positioning are important because the result may be affected by connector alignment, mating condition and the way force is applied. Customers should confirm whether the project requires only the Figure C.4 reference connector or a complete fixture arrangement for the selected test item.

Before quotation, it is helpful to confirm:

• Required ISO 18250-3 figure number
• Sample connector structure
• Intended test item, such as axial separation or overriding
• Required loading method or fixture arrangement
• Whether a single reference connector or a complete test setup is needed
• Documentation requirements for dimensional inspection or material information

Configuration and Documentation Notes

The Figure C.4 cross reference connector is made from stainless steel and intended for repeated laboratory handling when properly used, cleaned and stored. Since cross-port connector testing may require controlled alignment and mechanical loading, the reference connector should be selected together with the required test method and fixture configuration.

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