Hypertronics Announces New 'Hot Plug' Contact
-- Designed for Continuous Power Applications --
Hudson, MA (April 29, 2004)- Hypertronics, a world leading provider of high performance Interconnect solutions for the most demanding applications, today announced a new Hypertac® technology, the Hot Plug contact. The Hypertronics Hot Plug contact offers the same high reliability performance properties of the Hypertac contact, while allowing for frequent engagement and disengagement of "live" electrical systems, without causing system failures and costly downtimes.
The Hot Plug contact was designed to ensure signal integrity under harsh electrical conditions present in such applications as power supplies, power generators, AC/DC converters, telecommunication systems and data communication systems.
As a result of the patent pending design, the Hot Plug contact provides live plug capability to over 50 mating cycles, is immune to the effects of shock and vibration, carries a low contact resistance and has been tested to applicable sections of UL1977 Safety Standard. The new contact is rated to 16 amps for hot plug applications and 28 amps for non-hot plug applications, and accepts 13-14 AWG wire size. Available contact size is 2.0mm or larger (pin OD), with crimp, solder cup, or straight dip terminations.
The Hot Plug contact is an enhancement to Hypertronics L and N series modular connectors. The new contact can be used in various modules, combined with signal, power and coaxial contacts. Custom connectors can also be designed to incorporate the Hot Plug contacts. For more information, please visit www.hypertronics.com or call 1-888-HYPERTAC.
