ABOUT HYPERTAC
Hypertac, a part of Smiths Interconnect, is a leading supplier of high reliability, high performance interconnect solutions and electrical/electronic connectors. The company has particular expertise in the rapid development of innovative interconnect solutions for high reliability applications in military, aerospace, industrial, mass transit, test & measurement and medical electronics markets. The Hypertac range includes printed circuit board connectors, modular, rectangular, filtered ARINC and circular connectors. Hypertac connectors achieve outstanding performance through the use of patented Hyperboloid contacts. Hypertac hyperboloid contact is an advanced design that satisfies the most demanding performance requirements. The shape of the contact sleeve is formed by wires strung at an angle to the socket axis. When the pin is inserted into the sleeve, the wires stretch around it, providing a number of linear contact paths. This ensures high reliability, a high number of mating cycles, shock and vibration immunity, low contact resistance and low insertion and extraction force.
