Product catalog summary
Overview of Hypertac Technology: Hypertac is a hyperboloid contact technology by Smiths Connectors, known for its reliability and performance in harsh environments. It features low insertion/extraction forces, high-density interconnect systems, long contact life, low cost of ownership, lower contact resistance, low power consumption, higher current ratings, and immunity to shock and vibration.
Scope: The CMD Connectors Family includes plug and receptacle styles with various pin/socket contact positions, conforming to MIL-C-55302 standards, featuring an offset-grid pattern and polarization for correct insertion.
Contact Terminal Types: Plug connectors are available with solder post, thru-hole, and solder tail terminals. Receptacle connectors offer similar options, including wire wrap posts for solderless connections.
Applied Documents: The connectors are designed and tested according to military standards such as MIL-C-26074, MIL-I-46058, and MIL-P-50884.
Requirements: Connector bodies are made from flame-resistant polyphenylene sulfide, with pin and socket contacts made from beryllium-copper alloy with gold plating. They are designed to withstand high temperatures, vibrations, and shocks.
Quality Assurance and Packaging: Quality assurance provisions and packaging requirements ensure connectors meet standards and are delivered in optimal condition.
Specifications:
  • Solderability: Tested at 245°C for 5 seconds according to MIL-STD-202 method 208.
  • Resistance to Soldering Heat: Complies with MIL-STD-202 method 210 condition C, at 260°C for 10 seconds.
  • Capacitance: Maximum of 2.0 pF from contact to contact.
  • Inductance: Maximum calculated inductance is 15 nH.
Intended Use: Designed for high-density electronic packaging equipment subassemblies with low-power requirements, facilitating printed wiring board-to-board or board-to-cable interconnections.
Selection Chart: Provides dimensions for various connector figures, specifying applicable plug connector body types and contact terminal styles.
Connector Styles and Ordering: Details on connector styles, contact styles, terminal styles, hardware codes, and polarization options are provided, along with a guide on ordering specific configurations.
Specifications:
  • Connectors available in multiple contact positions: 42, 82, 110, 126, 158, 174 for receptacles and 220, 236, 316 for plugs.
  • Spacing standardized at .075 inch (1.905 mm).
  • Conformance to MIL-C-55302 standards is maintained.
Procedures:
  • Ordering involves selecting from options including connector family, size, style, contact style, terminal style, hardware code, hardware polarization, and contact finishing.
  • Terminal styles include dip solder (straight and right angle) and flex circuit for straddle mount.
Norms and Standards:
  • Connectors conform to MIL-C-55302 and MIL-P-50884 standards.
  • Contact finishing involves plating and underplating as per MIL-C-55302.
Recommendations:
  • Ensure matching contact positions, hardware, and polarization for mating connectors.
  • Consult the factory for custom requests such as hot solder dipping.
Key Data from Tables:
  • Dimensions and weights for each contact position are specified in tables, with weights varying based on terminal length and guide socket/pin installation.
  • Polarization configurations are detailed on page 44.
Applications:
  • Connectors are suitable for measuring and test devices, including extender board applications.
  • Mounting patterns are provided for daughterboard and board-to-board applications.
Maximum Dimensions of Mated Connectors: Outlines maximum dimensions for mated connectors, ensuring compatibility and proper electrical engagement.
The Connector Halves Mating: Specifies maximum permissible inclination and displacement for connector halves to ensure acceptable electrical engagement.
Connectors for Measuring and Test: Describes connectors used for measuring and testing, including extender board connectors and cable assembly connectors.
How to Order: Provides a detailed guide on ordering connectors, specifying connector family, size, style, terminal style, hardware code, polarization, and contact finishing.
Card Edge Test Connector: Used for testing microelectronic devices, featuring specific contact arrangement and spacing.
Flex Circuit Soldering: Suggests temperature variations for hot bar soldering processes and emphasizes conformal coating after soldering.
Smiths Connectors Product Lines: Lists various product lines, including circular EMI/EMP filter connectors, high power and high-speed connectors, and modular/rectangular PCB spring probes.
Global Support: Provides contact information for Smiths Connectors' global support offices in the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
