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:
- number of mating cycles (100.000),
- shock and vibration immunity,
- low insertion and extraction force
- low contact resistance
- high current ratings
Hypertac hyperboloid contact provides the following commercial benefits:
- Low cost of ownership - Does not need replacement during equipment life
- Reduced system costs - Equipment design is less critical
- Reduced qualification costs - No re-testing due to contact failures
