What this Figure item is for
ISO 80369-6 Figure C.1 Female Neuraxial Reference Lock Connector is the reference connector used with ISO 80369-6:2016, Annex C, Figure C.1. It addresses a practical buyer problem: neuraxial connector projects need the correct lock or slip reference side because small interface differences change the test setup. Use the page to confirm the connector side, mating counterpart, interface type, test path and quotation scope before ordering the item or a matched set.
How to decide whether this is the right item
Start with whether the tested sample is male or female, lock or slip, and whether axial-load separation is part of the method. Select Figure C.1 when the sample under evaluation matches a male mating connector; the reference item supplies the opposite mating side for the specified setup. A frequent purchasing error is selecting a Luer-looking item by appearance instead of using the neuraxial Figure and mating-side relationship.
Typical use cases
This page is most useful for neuraxial connector design verification, laboratory method setup, supplier quality checks and non-interconnectability review. Buyers usually arrive here because they need a known mating reference before planning leakage performance, separation or disconnection by unscrewing, stress-cracking evaluation, non-interconnectable characteristics, not because they are shopping for a general-purpose connector.
Standard and method relationship
This item belongs to ISO 80369-6:2016, Annex C, Figure C.1. Product type: reference connector. Gender: female. Connection type: neuraxial. Related ISO 80369-20 method paths include leakage-pressure-decay, unscrewing-torque, stress-cracking. The standard Figure identifies the reference relationship; KingPo quotation review confirms the controlled drawing, documentation and certificate wording for the selected order scope.
Role in the test setup
Use this item when the test object is a male mating connector and the evaluation concerns leakage performance, separation or disconnection by unscrewing, stress-cracking evaluation, non-interconnectable characteristics. In a complete setup it may work with pressure, force, torque or fixture equipment depending on the method. The Figure item defines the mating reference role; it is not a leakage tester, force tester or torque tester by itself.
Additional selection, counterpart and documentation notes
Male / female and lock / slip selection
The listed gender is female, so the tested sample should be prepared with the opposite mating side. Lock interfaces usually require buyers to state the thread or locking relationship and whether torque-related methods are part of the request. Include the sample drawing or photo when the connector side, thread or slip interface is not obvious.
Configuration notes before RFQ
Depending on the method, the request may also need leakage equipment, axial-load equipment, torque equipment, a connector support fixture or a stress-cracking fixture. For this standard family, the RFQ should emphasize neuraxial Figure, sample side, lock/slip interface, axial-load need, counterpart and fixture expectation.
Counterpart or complete set
For Figure C.1, the counterpart is a male mating connector. This item can be discussed as an individual Figure product or as part of a matched set when the method requires a counterpart, fixture and storage case. Include whether the counterpart, storage case, fixture, gauge or test equipment should be quoted together.
Calibration and documentation
Calibration or dimensional verification should be discussed for the selected Figure item, not assumed for the whole product family. Ask for certificate wording, measured features, traceability route and recalibration interval when those details are required for laboratory records or supplier qualification.
RFQ Checklist
Include ISO 80369-6, Figure C.1, tested connector type, required mating side, lock or slip connection, related method (leakage-pressure-decay, unscrewing-torque, stress-cracking), quantity, counterpart need, complete-set need, fixture or equipment need, certificate wording and shipping region. Attach a sample drawing or photo when the connector side or interface is not obvious.
