What this Figure item is for
ISO 80369-7 Figure C.3 Female Axial-Load Reference Luer Lock Connector is the reference connector used with ISO 80369-7:2021, Annex C, Figure C.3. It addresses a practical buyer problem: Luer connector buyers need to separate reference connectors, gauges and complete sets before choosing a slip or lock 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 sample is male or female, whether the interface is Luer slip or Luer lock, and whether the task is functional testing or gauge inspection. Select Figure C.3 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 using a gauge when the method requires a reference connector, or choosing lock when the sample/interface is slip.
Typical use cases
This page is most useful for Luer connector manufacturing, medical device R&D, QA incoming inspection, laboratory method setup and quotation for matched reference/gauge sets. Buyers usually arrive here because they need a known mating reference before planning axial-load separation, overriding resistance, not because they are shopping for a general-purpose connector.
Standard and method relationship
This item belongs to ISO 80369-7:2021, Annex C, Figure C.3. Product type: reference connector. Gender: female. Connection type: Luer. Related ISO 80369-20 method paths include axial-load-separation, resistance-to-overriding. 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 axial-load separation, overriding resistance. 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 sample side, slip/lock interface, Figure number, reference connector versus gauge need, matched counterpart and certificate scope.
Counterpart or complete set
For Figure C.3, 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 80369-7, Figure C.3, tested connector type, required mating side, lock or slip connection, related method (axial-load-separation, resistance-to-overriding), 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.
