The shape of the contact sleeve is formed by hyperbolically arranged
contact wires, which align themselves elastically as contact lines around
the pin, providing a number of linear contact paths.

The inherent electrical and mechanical characteristics of the Hypertac hyperboloid
contact ensure unrivalled performance in terms of reliability, number of mating
cycles, low contact forces and low contact resistance.

Hypertac contact features and benefits:

LOW CONTACT RESISTANCE

Higher current and voltage ratings Smaller contacts for the same power Saving overall weight and space

LOW MATING FORCES

Long life and low rate of wear Minimum service requirements Low cost of ownership

EXCELLENT SHOCK AND VIBRATION PROOF

Low mass and low inertia in harsh environments Fit and forget Electrical continuity ensuring failure free performance

ENVIRONMENTALLY CLEAN

No local hot spot (uniform current densities) Self-cleaning pin insertion
