SnapTac Series
SnapTac rectangular connectors offer designers of military systems superior signal integrity, IP67 sealing and the robustness required for use in extreme environments. SnapTac combine the high-reliability hyperboloid contact technology with the mechanical features of a spring-loaded contact.
These connectors have been designed for high-speed data-audio-video transmission by upgrading commercial Ethernet, USB, IEEE 1394 interconnect to Mil Spec performance. SnapTac products can satisfy even the most demanding of design requirements, offering quick and easy mating / unmating with hardware coding to avoid mismatching, and IP67 sealing, both when mated and unmated. SnapTac connectors are compact in size and provide a reduced weight.
The connector family incorporates full line EMI shielding and uses the HyperSpring connector technology to ensure low contact resistance and hence excellent signal integrity. SnapTac connector structure provides the physical spring action and the electrical conduction function, allowing Hypertac to employ two different materials to optimize the physical and electrical performance of the connector. In particular this reduces ohmic losses and eliminates the inductive effects that can be caused by the coiled topology of a spring contact. They provide an inherent self-cleaning wiping action, eliminating the need for a protection cap, while the nature of the electrical contacts also substantially reduces contact fretting for increased reliability.
