Product Overview
ISO 80369-7 Figure C.4 Male Reference Luer Lock Connector
The ISO 80369-7 Figure C.4 Male Reference Luer Lock Connector is used as a controlled mating component when evaluating female Luer connectors. It is designed for test configurations that require a male Luer lock reference interface, and should not be confused with the ISO 80369-7 Figure C.2 Male Reference Luer Slip Connector or the ISO 80369-7 Male Plug Gauge.
In a typical test setup, the female Luer connector sample is mated with the Figure C.4 male reference Luer lock connector. The assembled connection is then used in the applicable ISO 80369 test procedure according to the required evaluation item, such as leakage, separation from unscrewing, stress cracking or non-interconnectable characteristics.
This page is intended for customers who specifically require Figure C.4 for female Luer connector testing. Customers who need several ISO 80369-7 reference connector configurations should consider the complete ISO 80369-7 Luer Gauge Set.
Key Drawing Notes and Use Limitation
Based on the ISO 80369-7 Figure C.4 drawing you provided, this reference connector is identified as a male reference Luer lock connector for testing female Luer connectors. The drawing includes thread-related notes and a specific limitation for certain non-interconnectable characteristic evaluations.

| Reference Connector Type | Male reference Luer lock connector |
| Test Object | Female Luer connectors |
| Thread Note | Double-start, right-hand thread of 2.5 mm pitch |
| Edge / Radius Note | R is a radius or chamfer not to exceed 0.5 mm |
| Key Distance Note | Maximum distance from the tip of the male Luer lock connector to the first complete profile of the internal thread should follow the referenced Table B.3 dimension |
| Important Limitation | This reference connector cannot be used for the test of non-interconnectable characteristics against its collar outside diameter because the corresponding defined range is wide and one single reference connector is not representative |
| Dimension Unit | Millimetres unless otherwise indicated |

How It Is Used and What It Tests
Typical Use Procedure
- Confirm that the sample is a female Luer connector and that ISO 80369-7 Figure C.4 is the required reference connector.
- Mate the female Luer sample with the Figure C.4 male reference Luer lock connector.
- Install the assembled connection into the applicable ISO 80369 test setup.
- Apply the required leakage, unscrewing, stress cracking or non-interconnectability test condition.
- Record the result according to the selected test procedure.
- After testing, clean and protect the reference connector to avoid scratches, contamination or thread damage.
Typical Test Applications
The Figure C.4 connector may be used in ISO 80369-7 test configurations related to:
- Female Luer connector evaluation
- Luer lock mating interface verification
- Leakage-related test configurations
- Separation from unscrewing related test configurations
- Stress cracking related connector evaluation
- Non-interconnectable characteristic evaluation only when the selected procedure allows this reference connector
- Laboratory confirmation of female Luer connector fit and engagement
The exact test item, pressure, torque, load, holding time and judgment criteria should be confirmed according to the applicable ISO 80369-7 clause and ISO 80369-20 test method. The Figure C.4 connector itself is a reference connector, not a complete test apparatus.
