TECHNOLOGIES

HyperboloidHypertac is a superior performing hyperboloidcontact technology designed for use in harshand demanding environments where highreliability and safety are critical. The inherentelectrical and mechanical characteristics of theHypertac hyperboloid contact ensures unrivalledperformance in terms of reliability, number ofmating cycles, low contact force and minimalcontact resistance.

Spring ProbesSpring probes are designed to optimise performancein high reliability, multi-cycle applications. Springprobes are compliant contacts which makes themideal for blind mate applications as they self-correctfor x, y, z, rotational and angular misalignment of thetarget. Offered in compressed heights less than 2mm and utilized on pitches as tight as 0.4mm, theyare well-suited for high density, board-to-board,battery contact, and high frequency applications.

Filtered Contact TechnologyEMI lter connectors use co- red multi-layer ceramiccapacitor arrays together with inductive materialsto realize robust, high performance low pass lternetworks. They can be combined with high energyTVS diode technology to achieve high level l ightningand EMP transient protection.

Fibre Optic TerminiFibre optic contacts support wide bandwidthapplications and are suitable for inclusion ina broad variety of connector styles. All breoptic connectors and contacts are offered fullyterminated and tested ensuring signal integrityfor ruggedised application environments.

RF Coax/TriaxCoax and Triax contacts provide superiorelectrical performance plus shielding toeliminate interference from outside electricalsources in a connector. Triaxial contacts aredesigned for low-loss concentric 50, 75 and 95Ohm cable types.

High Speed DataQuadrax and Twinax contacts are designed fortransmission of Ethernet high-speed signalsrequired in harsh environment applicationswhere excellent integrity and high reliabilityare crucial. Manufacturing to the followingprotocols: Fibre Channel, Ethernet (10 Base-T,100 Base-T, 1000 Base-T), Firewire (IEEE1394A and 1394B), USB, DVI and in niband.
