HyperGrid Contact Technology

HyperGrid is a scalable interconnect technology that provides engineers with a high performance, robust “drop-in” replacement for pogo pin, elastomer-based and fuzz button connectors. Suitable for mezzanine level, IC-to-board, or board-to-board interconnect requirements, engineers can feel confident that HyperGrid contacts will replace any pogo pin or other discrete I/O compliant contact in interconnect environments constrained by space and weight limitations. Based on a patented, Z axis compliant floating contact, HyperGrid provides an electrically-efficient connection, with a very consistent resistance value from pin to pin. The 0.50 to 1.27mm pitch contacts have a low self-inductance and use a repeatable, low contact force (0.35 - 1.59 oz.). HyperGrid technology delivers an interconnection that adheres to any standard and non-standard footprint and is easy to customize.

Applications:

• High speed microwave MMIC
• Flat panel displays
• Flexible cables
• Printed circuit boards
• Parallel boards
• Solderless, multiple termination connectors
