New connectors from Aerco

These high performance connectors use Hypertac’s hyperboloid contact technology to provide standard current ratings of 300A and 500A while versions capable of over 750A are available on request. The hyperboloid contacts produce contact resistance figures as low as 0.05m thus cutting resistive losses. This simplifies the task of thermal management and allows better power handling in a much smaller size.

Supplied in a choice of metal or high-strength composite shells, these single-pole circular connectors are sealed to IP67 and provide 360° EMI/RFI shielding. Configurations are available in cable or panel mount versions with straight or right angle backshells.

Rated up to 1000V DC, the HBB series can accept cable sizes of up to 70mm² for 300A versions and 120mm² for 500A versions. Receptacles are available with sizes conforming to MIL-DTL-5015, while metal versions offer a variety of plating options including zinc/cobalt, cadmium and electroless nickel.
