High Power Connectors
Sabritec’s High Power connectors utilize the superior performing Hyperboloid® contact technology, ideal for harsh and demanding environments with low contact resistance. These connectors provide high current ratings with smaller contacts for the same power thus saving overall weight and space.
Key Features
- Low coupling force
- Improved low rate of wear and high coupling durability
- Shock and vibration resistance
- Operate in harsh environments
- Increased power handling capability by 25% as compared to standard contacts
- Reduced contact resistance
- Contact elements can be insulated, to enable multi-pole use (coaxial)
- Contact mating sequence can be used to gain benefits such as power switching
- Mating of shorter contact can energize main power for system or safety requirements
