5. Hyperboloid Technology

6. Hyperboloid Concept The Hyperboloid-shaped sleeve is formed by straight wires strung at an angle to the longitudinal axis. This geometry provides for a design which has a decreasing circumscribed circle when viewed from the entry When the pin is inserted into this sleeve, the wires stretch, well within elastic limits, to accommodate it. In doing so, the wires wrap themselves around the pin, providing a number of continuous line contact paths

7. Hyperboloid Construction Wires strung on an internal wire carrier (inner sleeve), and enclosed by a front outer ring (front sleeve) and the terminal. Joints are calculated interference fits, insuring gas-tight interfaces between all elements of the Hyperboloid construction The unique geometry, precision processing, and careful attention to quality result in a highly desirable contact design which provides:

8. Low Insertion/Extraction Forces • Feature • Wire basket expands to envelop mating pin when inserted. • Benefit • Less resistance in pin-socket interface, thus less force required to mate and demate, especially in high pin count connectors

9. Contact Life • Feature • Unlike the “plow and scrape” action of common designs, Hyperboloid’s wiping action reduces wear on the contacts surfaces. • Benefit • Standard contacts are rated to last 500 mating cycles. Hyperboloid contacts are rated for 100,000 mating cycles.

10. Higher Current Ratings • Feature • Hyperboloid wire system envelops mating pin, thus more lines of contact between pin and socket • Benefit • Greater current-carrying capability, at ambient temperature rise

11. Impervious to Shock & Vibration • Feature • The low mass and resulting low inertia of the wires allows them to follow the most extreme excursions of the pin without loss of contact. Test exceed 300 g’s without discontinuity. • Benefit • Guaranteed electrical continuity regardless of the direction or intensity of external and internal forces.
