HGM HYPERBOLOID CONNECTORS

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The HGM Series Hyperboloid Connectors are engineered for high performance in various demanding environments, including space, military, and medical applications. Their unique hyperboloid contact design ensures reliability and superior performance.

Specifications

Materials: Pin contacts are made from PhBr, BeCu, or Cu alloy, while socket contacts use BeCu wires and Cu alloy support elements. Insulators are crafted from modified polyphenylene sulfide or diallyl phthalate.
Finishes: Gold and nickel plating are applied to pin and socket contacts for durability and low contact resistance.
Performance: The connectors support a continuous current rating of 5 amps, with insulation resistance of 5000 megaohms and contact resistance of 8 milliohms max. They operate in temperatures from -65°C to +125°C and have a contact life exceeding 100,000 mating cycles.

Ordering Information
Detailed ordering charts are provided for various configurations, including 2-row and 3-row connectors with different termination styles such as stacking, dip solder, and surface mount. Unique codes are specified for easy identification.

Key Features

VLIF (Very Low Insertion Force): Minimal force is required for insertion, enhancing ease of use.
Shock and Vibration Resistance: The connectors can withstand over 300 g’s without discontinuity.
Low Contact Resistance: Ensures excellent interface with low resistance, improving current carrying capacity.
High Reliability: Proven performance in demanding applications over 40 years.

Appendix
Includes detailed termination styles, hardware styles, polarization charts, and PWB patterns for both 2-row and 3-row configurations.

Receptacle and Plug Types
The document categorizes receptacles and plugs by style, providing dimensions for various contact configurations.

Receptacle Types:

Stacking Style: Dimensions for stacking style receptacles are provided.
Straight Style: Dimensions for straight style receptacles are detailed.
Right Angle Style: Specifications for right angle style receptacles are included.
Surface Mount Style: Details for surface mount style receptacles are provided.
Compliant Style: Specifications for compliant style receptacles are included.

Plug Types:

Receptacle Pattern, Stacking Style: Dimensions for stacking style plugs with a receptacle pattern are provided.
Straight Style: Specifications for straight style plugs are included.
Right Angle Style: Details for right angle style plugs are provided.
Surface Mount Style: Specifications for surface mount style plugs are included.
Compliant Style: Details for compliant style plugs are provided.

Additional Information: Each section refers to an appendix for further details on termination, hardware styles, polarization charts, and PWB patterns. A consistent table format lists dimensions for contacts labeled A through E.

Termination Styles

2-Row Termination: Includes configurations for both receptacles and plugs, with hardware omitted for clarity.
3-Row Termination: Similar configurations as 2-row, with additional hardware compatibility details.

Hardware Compatibility
Various hardware styles (A, B, H, K, L, M, P, S, T, X, Y) are listed with their compatibility with low and high-profile insulators.

PWB Patterns

2-Row Patterns: Includes patterns for receptacles and plugs, with recommended hole sizes for compliant termination style contacts. Modifications are allowed for specific applications or alternative standards.
3-Row Patterns: Similar recommendations and allowances for modifications as the 2-row patterns.

Recommendations
The document emphasizes flexibility in design and implementation, allowing modifications to hole sizes and patterns to suit specific applications or alternative standards.

HGM SERIES The HYPERBOLOID contact is an advanced design that satisﬁes performance requirements previously considered impossible. Radically different in concept, it is used in connectors having the highest standards of performance. The distinguishing feature of the HYPERBOLOID socket is the hyper-boloid-shaped sleeve formed by straight wires strung at an angle to the longitudinal axis. Viewed from the side, you see a curve deﬁned by a series of apparent short straight line segments which are tangent lines to points along a hyperbolic curve. This geometry provides for a design which has a decreasing...
