Type-C to 10.0mm Gold-Plated Cup Electrode Cable for EEG & Biosignal Acquisition

This reusable biosignal electrode cable combines a compact Type-C device interface with 10.0mm gold-plated cup electrodes for integration into compatible EEG, ECG, EMG, PSG and electrophysiological signal acquisition systems. The multi-lead structure provides an organized connection between the acquisition hardware and individual electrode positions while allowing the cable layout to be adapted around the finished device.

The gold-plated cup electrodes use a copper-alloy base with a gold-plated contact surface, providing a durable reusable electrode structure for compatible biosignal measurement applications. Different lead lengths and color identification can also help engineers organize individual channels during equipment integration, testing and research setup.

Reusable 10.0mm Gold-Plated Cup Electrodes

Cup electrodes are widely used in electrophysiological and biomedical signal acquisition systems where a reusable electrode interface is required. The concave electrode shape provides a defined contact area and can be incorporated into different electrode placement methods according to the complete acquisition system.

In this cable assembly, each 10.0mm cup electrode is individually connected back to the device-side interface. Lead length, channel order and identification can therefore be designed according to the electrode positions used by the customer's EEG, ECG, EMG or PSG hardware.

Electrode performance ultimately depends on the complete acquisition system, including electrode preparation, contact method, amplifier design, grounding, shielding and environmental interference. For this reason, the cable and electrode configuration should be evaluated together with the target equipment rather than treated as an isolated component.

Type-C as a Custom Medical Device Interface

Although this cable uses a Type-C connector, the interface should not automatically be treated as a standard USB charging or data connection. For medical and biosignal equipment, Type-C can also be used as a compact multi-contact physical connector with a project-specific electrical definition.

The actual pin assignment must therefore be confirmed according to the customer's PCB, acquisition circuit and channel mapping. Different contacts within the Type-C connector can be assigned according to the approved equipment design, allowing the cable to support customized signal-channel configurations.

Heymed Medical can review PCB pin definitions, wiring diagrams, existing cable samples, connector drawings or equipment interface information before prototype development. This helps reduce the risk of incorrect pin mapping or connector assumptions during integration.

Key Design Considerations for Biosignal Electrode Cables

Type-C pinout: contact assignment and channel definition according to the target acquisition hardware.

Electrode configuration: electrode quantity, 10.0mm cup structure and individual channel arrangement.

Lead layout: individual lead length, breakout position and color identification according to electrode placement.

Cable construction: conductor structure, jacket material, shielding and strain relief based on the equipment requirements.

Electrical verification: pin-to-pin continuity and channel mapping checked against the approved wiring definition before volume production.

Designed Around the Complete Biosignal Acquisition System

A biosignal electrode cable is only one part of the complete acquisition path. Device-side connector architecture, amplifier input, channel mapping, electrode location, cable routing and shielding requirements all influence the final cable design.

For new EEG and electrophysiological equipment projects, Heymed Medical can develop the cable assembly around the customer's complete device architecture rather than simply reproducing a fixed standard lead wire. Engineering evaluation can include connector matching, pinout review, lead arrangement, electrode interface selection, cable construction and sample verification.

For projects involving additional electrode types, EEG caps or multi-channel monitoring cables, our EEG & EMG Electrodes & Cables range provides additional connection structures that can be evaluated around the target system.

From Engineering Sample to OEM Production

Heymed Medical supports custom biosignal cable projects from initial interface review through prototype sampling and volume manufacturing. Customers can provide a device drawing, PCB definition, pinout diagram, existing electrode cable or reference sample for engineering evaluation.

During development, the Type-C pin mapping, lead configuration, electrode dimensions, cable length and electrical continuity can be reviewed against the approved design. Cable materials, shielding structure, lead colors, strain relief and packaging can then be developed according to the requirements of the finished product.

This development approach is suitable for medical-device manufacturers, biosignal equipment developers, research hardware companies and OEM/ODM projects requiring a customized electrode-to-device connection rather than a fixed off-the-shelf cable.
