An interconnect products supplier is extending its offerings to include miniature models that are nearly 30% smaller in size but maintain 5 signal contacts rated at 1A each with a dielectric withstanding voltage rating of 750V. This miniature connector is an extension of the circular push-button D series connector design from Hypertronics Corp, Hudson, MA.

Designed to meet increased functionality requirements of more advanced systems, the mini D series can be used in medical equipment such as monitors, therapeutic devices, imaging, and invasive probes.

In addition to maintaining the high signal reliability in a smaller 0.3mm pin size, the miniature Hypertac hyperboloid contact offers high cycle life, low contact resistance, low insertion and extraction force, as well as, resistance to shock and vibration. The easy-to-assemble connectors feature a push-button latch and are available with plugs with crimp termination, which can also be soldered to accommodate up to 24 AWG wire. Receptacles are offered with 6-in. pigtails or custom lengths and board terminations.

The company also plans to launch miniature versions of its HyperGrip product line.
