The HyperRel HRC (HyperRel™ Composite) is a high performance composite connector intermateable with MIL-C-38999 series III connectors.

Shells:

The total performance of the HRC connector is matched by individual components within the system. For example, the use of composite materials has increased the durability of the connector housing and coupling mechanism to 1500 cycles.

Contacts:

Hypertronics’ Hypertac contact design exceeds the increased performance requirements of today’s systems.

• Up to 80% less mating force

• 50% reduction in resistance

• 300% increase in mating cycles

• Vibration/shock proven @ 2 nano second

• Five times more contact elements than the MIL-C-39029 (i.e. Size #22)

• Hypertac contact life expectancy (fretting) is 100 times longer than the MIL-C-39029 contact.

The HRC eliminates corrosion, which is the main cause of mechanical, electrical, and electromagnetic connector degradation. Electromotive force differentials between many dissimilar metals found in connectors and accessories produce galvanic action. The HRC eliminates these dissimilar metals resulting in an interconnection system that withstands over 2000 hours of salt spray.

Specifications: 

• EMI shielding effectiveness - Meets and exceeds the requirements of MIL-C-38999. 
• Fluid immersion - Meets and exceeds the requirements of MIL-C-38999.
• Temperature - The metal surface will not delaminate from the composite material even after extreme temperature excursions. The HRC meets all requirements of MIL-C-38999.
• Magnetic permeability - The magnetic permeability of the fully assembled HRC connector is less than 2.0 μ, meeting all the requirements of MIL-C-38999.
• Materials - All the materials used in the shell and inserts in the HRC are in accordance with MIL-C-38999. The contacts are in accordance with MIL-C-39029. 
• Finish - Shells: Meet the requirements of MIL-C-38999. Contacts: Meets the requirements of MIL-C-39029.
•  Insulation resistance - Meets all the requirements of MIL-C-38999.
• Dielectric withstanding voltage - Meets all the requirements of MIL-C-38999.
