The new Hypertac ruggedized contact system is designed especially for the transmission of Ethernet high-speed signals required in harsh environment applications such as Railway, Military and Industrial markets.
The contact uses the Hypertac hyperboloid technology which guarantees an excellent integrity and high reliability, even under high levels of shock and vibrations. In addition, Hypertac's high speed contact system is housed in a ruggedized shell which enables a reliable cabling.
The Hypertac ruggedized contact system is available in Twinax, Triax and Quadrax versions and can be used in many of its circular and rectangular modular connectors series e. g. BE-, L- and C-Series, only to name a few.
High Speed performance
The Hypertac high speed contact system meets the requirements of Ethernet Class F (CAT 7), which is the highest performance level. It is compliant with the latest Ethernet standards (IEE802.3) and achieves more than 1.2 GHZ.
In addition, the Hypertac high speed contact system can be easily removed from the connector insulator with the appropriate tooling, enabling easy maintenance. The contact system is designed for cables of a resistance of 100, 120 and 150Ω and of sizes from 6.5 mm to 13 mm diameter.
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.
