HRC (HyperRel™ Composite) Highlights
Intermateable with MIL-C-38999 Series III Connectors
The HyperRel HRC is a high performance composite connector intermateable with MIL-C-38999 series III
connectors. Our HyperRel connectors are built upon the legendary Hypertac contact technology that
outperforms other interconnect options in terms of performance reliability, number of mating cycles,
contact forces, contact resistance and value.
The combination of the legendary Hypertac contact with the superior design of the composite shell/insert
take into consideration the connector, its contacts, and the respective strain reliefs to favorably influence
intra-system life-cycle performance and costs.
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 the largest contributing factor in advanced systems malfunction… 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.
