Hybrid and RFID couplings
Mini hybrid couplings
The mini hybrid coupling is the compact member of the CPC hybrid range: an air line and two electrical wires share one connection point where installation space is limited. It is based on the SMC coupling platform, has gold-plated brass contacts and a breakaway latch that releases under pull. Rated for 1.7 bar and 4 to 26 °C, it has an acetal (POM) body, NBR seal and 3.2 mm tubing.

How to choose Mini hybrid couplings
What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.
Selection criteria
| Criterion | Available | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Lines | Air, 2 wires 22 gauge | For pneumatics and low-power signals. |
| Version | Inline with 1.2 m umbilical, panel-mount insert | Both valved. |
| Pressure | 1.7 bar | Not intended for higher operating pressures. |
| Temperature | 4 to 26 °C | Designed for operation at room temperature. |
| Materials | Acetal (POM), NBR, gold-plated brass | Contacts made of gold-plated brass. |
| Latch | Breakaway latch | Releases when the cable is pulled. |
Frequently asked questions
- What does the mini hybrid coupling carry?
- One air line with 3.2 mm tubing and two electrical wires (22 gauge) for signals and low power. It is meant for pneumatic, low-voltage applications rather than fluids at higher pressure.
- What happens if someone pulls on the cable?
- The latch is a breakaway design and releases under pull instead of damaging the line or the device.
- Why is it used in medical devices?
- All connections of a hand piece sit in one proven assembly. Device setup is faster and misconnections between individual lines are ruled out, which supports patient safety.
- Which versions are available?
- An inline coupling with a 1.2 m umbilical and a panel-mount insert, both valved. Operating pressure is 1.7 bar, operating temperature 4 to 26 °C.
