PET-CT Connector CBZR00SA-TFS250-0000 2026: 00S Series Coaxial Receptacle for Nuclear Medicine Scanners | Russian Client
Pain point: Looking for a PET-CT connector that preserves high-speed, low-amplitude pulse signals from thousands of photoelectric sensors inside nuclear medicine scanners, while staying compact enough for front-end board assemblies?
Core answer: Spring Technology supplied the CBZR00SA-TFS250-0000, a 00S series 50Ω coaxial PET-CT connector for a Russian client’s PET-CT and SPECT scanners, serving as the external interface for the front-end board assembly with PTFE insulation, IP50 protection, and push-pull self-latching.
1. Custom Connector Solution Overview
Nuclear medicine imaging equipment requires the processing of high-speed, low-amplitude electrical pulse signals transmitted by thousands of photoelectric sensors; the CBZR00SA-TFS250-0000 serves as the external interface for the front-end board assembly.

2. PET-CT Connector Design Highlights
Spring Technology engineered every element of this PET-CT connector for dependable performance in nuclear medicine imaging systems.
- 50Ω coaxial design: A single central contact with PTFE insulation delivers clean high-frequency pulse transmission from the photoelectric sensor array to the processing electronics.
- Push-pull self-latching: Quick insertion and secure retention prevent accidental disconnection, while a simple pull releases the cable for detector maintenance.
- Compact 00S shell: The miniature unipole shell fits dense front-end board layouts inside gantry electronics.
- Wide temperature range: -45°C to +125°C operation with humidity resistance up to 95% at 60°C.
- Durable mechanics: More than 5000 mating cycles, vibration 10-20000 Hz at 15g, mechanical shock 100g·6ms, and salt spray corrosion resistance exceeding 48 hours.
- Signal processing capability: The unipole coaxial interface supports filtering, phase adjustment, attenuation, and detection functions at transmission frequencies from 3 MHz to 30 MHz.
- Gold-plated contacts: Brass contacts with gold mating finish and PTFE insulator deliver stable, low-loss signal paths.
The result is a front-end interface that behaves like an OEM component: predictable, durable, and ready to deploy directly into the Russian client’s PET-CT and SPECT scanners.
3. 00S Series Connector Family Overview
The 00S series is the miniature member of Spring Technology‘s unipole coaxial push-pull connector family, offering small size, quick insertion, and low standing wave and low loss performance for precision measurement and medical imaging.

Driven by nuclear medicine imaging expansion and radiation instrumentation modernization, the global radiation detection and monitoring market continues to grow, while the push-pull connector market is projected to reach USD 1.8 billion by 2027 (CAGR 5.8%) — reinforcing demand for compact coaxial interconnect solutions such as this PET-CT connector.
5. Common Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What are the electrical ratings of the CBZR00SA-TFS250-0000 PET-CT connector?
The CBZR00SA-TFS250-0000 is a 50Ω coaxial receptacle with a 0.7mm gold-plated contact rated at 4 A with 1200 V test voltage, PTFE insulation, and 26 AWG wire compatibility. For specific detector load requirements, contact our engineering team at [email protected].
Q2: Can this PET-CT connector withstand repeated mating in production scanners?
Yes. The 00S series supports more than 5000 mating cycles, withstands vibration from 10 to 20000 Hz at 15g and mechanical shock of 100g·6ms, and operates from -45°C to +125°C — suitable for the service life of gantry electronics and replaceable detector modules.
Q3: Is the 00S series compatible with other brands’ connectors?
The 00S series connector offers excellent compatibility with many leading supplier systems. For specific interchangeability requirements, please contact our engineering team at [email protected] with your application details.
Q4: Why is a 50Ω coaxial connection important for PET-CT and SPECT front-end boards?
A 50Ω impedance-matched coaxial path preserves the rise time and amplitude of fast scintillator pulses, minimizing reflections that would otherwise degrade timing resolution in the detector electronics. The unipole coaxial design also carries filtering, attenuation, and detection functions within the connector interface itself.
Q5: What is the typical lead time for 00S series orders?
Standard orders typically ship within 20 working days. Larger quantities (500+ pcs) may require up to 40 working days. Rush orders and express shipping options are available — contact our sales team for confirmation.
