St. Paul, MN-based Colder Products Company, a provider of quick disconnect couplings, now offers a subminiature coupling incorporating radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. The new IdentiQuik SMC coupling provides a high-quality, reliable alternative to luer-type connectors and allows users to electronically verify connection accuracy. The IdentiQuik coupling halves automatically exchange product data just before the connection is made, enabling equipment to electronically identify the device type or connected media and its characteristics—thus, drastically reducing the risk of improper connections. The new connections are ideal for use with critical small air or fluid lines. Applications include blood pressure cuffs, surgical equipment, blood analyzers, tube sets and analytical instrumentation. Made from acetal and polypropylene, the SMC is available in 1/16", 1/8" and 3 mm hose barb sizes. The IdentiQuik SMC couplings with RFID capability are offered as in-line bodies and inserts, with valved or non-valved options, and they feature a secure, twist-to-connect design. Operating pressures range from vacuum to 100 psi, and operating temperatures range from -40°F to 180°F (-40°C to 82°C) for acetal and 32°F to 180°F (0°C to 82°C) for polypropylene.
