4 INTERCONNECT SOLUTIONS FOR RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURES RAIL TRACTION SIGNALING TECHNOLOGIES Hyperboloid Spring Probes EMI/EMP Filter Hypertac is a superior performing hyperboloid contact technology designed for use in harsh and demanding environments where high reliability and safety are critical. The inherent electrical and mechanical characteristics of the Hypertac hyperboloid contact ensures unrivaled performance in terms of reliability, number of mating cycles, low contact force and minimal contact resistance. Spring probes are designed to optimize performance in high reliability, multi-cycle applications. Spring probes are compliant contacts which makes them ideal for blind mate applications as they self-correct for x, y, z, rotational and angular misalignment of the target. Offered in compressed heights less than 2 mm and utilized on pitches as tight as 0.4mm, they are well-suited for high density, board-to-board, battery contact, and high frequency applications. EMI filter connectors use co-fired multi-layer ceramic capacitor arrays together with inductive materials to realize robust, high performance low pass filter networks. They can be combined with high energy TVS diode technology to achieve high level lightning and EMP transient protection. High Speed Data Fiber Optic Termini RF Coax/Triax Quadrax and Twinax contacts are designed for transmission of Ethernet high-speed signals required in harsh environment applications where excellent integrity and high reliability are crucial. Manufacturing to the following protocols: Fiber Channel, Ethernet (10 Base-T, 100 Base-T, 1000 Base-T), Firewire (IEEE 1394A and 1394B), USB, DVI and infiniband. Fiber optic contacts support wide bandwidth applications and are suitable for inclusion in a broad variety of connector styles. All fiber optic connectors and contacts are offered fully terminated and tested ensuring signal integrity for ruggedized application environments. Coax and Triax contacts provide superior electrical performance plus shielding to eliminate interference from outside electrical sources in a connector. Triaxial contacts are designed for low-loss concentric 50, 75 and 95 Ohm cable types.
