Hypertac has announced the launch of its ultra-miniature high density RD strip connector for PCB connections. It has been designed for particular use in applications that operate in severe environments such as electronic equipment in aerospace and defence applications. Using the 0.30 mm hyperboloid contact, the high density RD connector is offered in one or two rows with a pitch of 1.27 mm, enabling a contact density up to 60 ways per cm². It...

The new low profile, high density HDLP range of rectangular PCB connectors from Hypertac are designed for use in space-constrained applications that require low mating force, a high number of mating cycles, low and stable contact resistance, and excellent fretting corrosion resistance. With IP67 sealing when mated, the HDLP series is particularly suitable for missile guidance and propulsion systems, ruggedised computer systems, camera or display...

Hypertac’s new HBB connectors combine high current handling capability with small size and exceptional environmental performance for demanding power systems applications. The HBB range is suitable for use in all types of high-power applications. This is particularly applicable to electric drives used in fighting vehicles, weapons systems, ground-based and airborne avionics systems, rail transport and the automotive and medical sectors.

Hypertac’s new SnapTac connectors offer designers of military systems improved signal integrity, IP67 sealing and the robustness required for use in extreme environments. The SnapTac connectors combine the company’s high-reliability hyperboloid contact technology with the mechanical features of a spring-loaded contact. The connectors have been designed for high-speed data-audio-video transmission by upgrading commercial Ethernet, USB, IEEE ...
