Connectors
target applications where
weight and space are at
a premium
HMD connectors designed
for signal functions of
up to 4A
Hudson, MA (May
30, 2007) –Hypertronics
Corporation today announced
the introduction of its
HMD range of high density,
lightweight signal data
connectors specifically
designed for applications
where weight and space
are at a premium. The
HMD series is suitable
for PCB and cable mounted
terminations for signals
of up to 4A. They offer
total environmental protection
to moisture and provide
superior salt fog resistance.
The HMD series is aimed
at avionics applications
such as communications,
displays, In-flight entertainment,
monitoring and control
systems installed on military
and civil (fixed and rotary
wing), as well as UAV’s
and spacecraft electronics.
The connectors may also
be used in a variety of
other applications such
as mass-transit, marine,
industrial, test &
measurement equipment,
missiles, auto-sport,
and all other industries
where weight and space
savings are critical.
The Hypertronics HMD series
is available for both
cable-to-cable or PCB-to-cable
type connections, and
provides a plastic insulator
with stainless steel hardware,
that are fully sealed.
A potted backshell protects
the cable terminations
and a shrouded insulator
prevents the pins from
being accidentally damaged.
The PCB type terminations
are also sealed thus eliminating
the need for masking if
a conformal coating is
used.
Based on the proven Hypertac
hyperboloid contact technology,
these connectors are resistant
to shock and vibration
and eliminate fretting,
providing reduced wear
rates which assist in
avoiding system failure
and down-time.
Available in 5, 9, 15,
21, 25, 31, 37 and 51
way options with 0.60mm
diameter contacts and
Hyperboloid sockets the
HMD Series also features
integral polarizing, environmental
sealing and jackscrew
mating devices.
The Hypertronics HMD series
is suitable for use as
a Micro-D replacement.
The HMD PCB connectors
have been designed to
fit into the same hole
/ pin pattern as that
of a standard Micro-D
connectors, and utilize
the same overall space
/ footprint.
