Hyperboloid Contacts

Hypertac® hyperboloid is the original superior performing contact technology for use in demanding environments where reliability and safety are critical. 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 smallest practical pin diameter is 0.3mm but there is effectively no upper limit.

EMI/EMP Connectors

Smiths Interconnect

Filter connector series includes EMI/ EMP/ESD circular, ARINC, D-subminiature and micro-D connector styles. They can be combined with high energy TVS diode technology to achieve lightning and EMP transient protection. Smiths Interconnect's EMI filter connectors use multi-layer ceramic capacitor arrays together with inductive materials to realize robust, high performance low pass filter networks. Where required, transient protection can be combined with EMI /RFI filtering to provide maximum protection. The diodes as well as the EMI filter are packaged separately so the construction of the connector remains modular.
