Smiths Interconnect's HYPERTAC brand is renowned for its pioneering Hyperboloid contact technology, a breakthrough in connector design that delivers exceptional reliability and performance. The hyperboloid structure consists of a unique cage of thin wires that form a hyperbolic shape around the contact, providing a consistent, low-resistance connection with minimal wear and low insertion force. This design allows Hypertac connectors to perform exceptionally well in demanding environments, resisting vibration, shock, and corrosion, while maintaining reliable electrical contact over extensive usage cycles.
The versatility of Hypertac technology makes it ideal for applications in Aerospace, Defence, Medical, Rail, and Industrial Automation sectors, where consistent and fail-safe connections are essential. It is used in medical devices like MRI machines and robotic surgical tools, where precision and reliability are crucial. In defence and aerospace, Hypertac connectors support mission-critical systems in aircraft, satellites, and radar systems that must withstand harsh environmental factors and perform under high-stress conditions.
Hypertac technology is found in various connector types, including Circular, Rectangular, and High Power connectors. These connectors can be customised with mixed power, data, and signal configurations, making them adaptable to specific application needs, ensuring top-tier performance even in extreme settings.
