Functions:

1. End-face sealing: Installed between the distal-end optical module, the lens mount, and the first snake-bone segment, it compresses and fills gaps, blocks body fluids from seeping into internal optical and circuit components, and provides waterproof sealing.

2. Thermal conduction and heat dissipation: Red copper has excellent thermal conductivity and can conduct heat generated by the illumination optical fiber and CMOS chip, reducing temperature rise at the distal end.

3. Compression buffering and positioning: As a metal flat washer, it evenly distributes locking pressure, prevents local cracking of plastic / optical parts, and assists in positioning the front-end optical components.

Process characteristics:

Material: Red copper (oxygen-free copper) thin sheet, precision machined by laser / etching, rounded rectangular frame, deburred

Can be surface passivated to meet medical-grade cleanliness requirements

Ultra-thin design, suitable for the narrow distal-end internal space of ultra-fine single-use flexible endoscopes
