Hyperboloid contact technology provides immunity to shock and vibration fretting, numerous linear paths of contact, low-insertion forces, high mating cycles, and a self-wiping cleaning action that results in consistently better integrity in extreme environments. Hyperboloid contact technology offers multiple points of contact, resulting in reduced wear and contact resistance thanks to its unique feature where a wired cage elastically winds the pin of the connector. This ensures more points of contact active also in harsh situations, as well as an incomparable softness of mating. In addition, connectors with a flexible modular design, such as the KVPX Series, can serve standard 3U and 6U as well as custom configurations.
excursions of the pin without the loss of contact. The contact area extends 360° around the pin and is uniform over its entire length. The 3-dimensional symmetry of the hyperboloid contact design guarantees electrical continuity regardless of the direction or intensity of external or internal forces. In applications where continuity interruption or fretting on the contacts due to shock and vibration is a key concern, the use of hyperboloid contact technology together with selected rugged materials ensures electrical integrity even under the most demanding conditions.
