Simplify Your Designs with Modular Connectors

Designers of high reliability systems need to employ rugged connectors like those that employ a hyperboloid architecture. Hyperboloid-based connectors have a low insertion force, superior current-carrying capacity, and handle applications with high levels of shock and vibration.

Join us for a deep dive into Smiths Interconnect’s next‑generation modular connector series—designed for rugged environments, high‑density layouts, and ultimate design flexibility. Learn how easily customizable building‑block modules, hyperboloid contact technology, and new high‑speed Cat5e/Cat6A data options enable more reliable, vibration‑resistant, and long‑life connectivity for demanding electronic systems.

We’ll also showcase the new online configurator that lets you drag, drop, and design tailored connector solutions in minutes. Perfect for engineers looking to streamline development and boost performance.

Key takeaways:

• Modular design: The connector series uses a building-block principle with two main elements—modules and frames—allowing flexible configurations for signal, power, coaxial, pneumatic, and high-speed data technologies.
• Versatility and customization: Customers can mix and match multiple modules within a single frame. 
• High reliability: Hyperboloid contacts provide durability for high-vibration environments and support up to 100,000 mating cycles, reducing downtime and increasing mean time between failures.
• Enhanced data capability: New Cat5e and Cat6A Ethernet modules comply with IEEE 802.3 standards, and combine hyperboloid contact technology with high-quality polycarbonate insulators for industry compliance and performance.
• New online configurator: An intuitive drag-and-drop tool enables customers to design and customize connectors using standard components for faster turnaround and reduced lead times.
