Smiths Interconnect Hypertac Green Connect™

As defence and military platforms become increasingly electrified, the performance of every power connection matters. Unmanned aerial vehicles, autonomous ground systems, mobile radar, battery-powered field equipment and electric military transport all depend on efficient, reliable energy transfer in compact assemblies. For these applications, Hypertac Green Connect^TM from Smiths Interconnect, a Molex company, offers a high-power contact technology designed to reduce resistance, limit heat build-up and support long-term performance in demanding environments.

Hypertac Green Connect^TM uses Smiths Interconnect’s proven hyperboloid contact design, where multiple angled socket wires create many lines of electrical contact with the mating pin. This provides a stable, low-resistance connection compared with conventional contact designs, helping to improve power efficiency and reduce temperature rise. With low contact resistance from 25 μΩ for size 8 mm contacts and high current carrying capability, it is particularly relevant for battery systems where power loss, weight, space and heat management are critical.

For drone and unmanned system designers, these benefits can support higher-efficiency battery connections, compact power distribution, payload power, charging interfaces and mission equipment that must perform through repeated mating cycles. Hypertac Green Connect^TM also offers low insertion and extraction force, self-cleaning contact action and strong lifecycle performance, making it suitable for equipment that may be assembled, serviced or redeployed frequently.

Environmental and compliance considerations are also built in. Hypertac Green Connect^TM is lead-free, beryllium-free, and fully RoHS and REACH compliant without exceptions, helping reduce substance compliance complexity in defence supply chains. As an approved supplier of Smiths Interconnect solutions, Aerco can help engineers and procurement teams identify the right Hypertac Green Connect^TM configuration for high-power defence, military and drone applications.
