M12 connector series w - Hypertac

M12 connector 

series w 

Hypertac responds to the growing requirements for miniaturization of systems, equipment and components by introducing a new 

range of M12 style connectors incorporating a number of advanced features. The new M12 Series compact size provides an ideal solution 

to system designers, at the same time ensuring high performance due to the advantages of the hyperboloid contact technology. 

Hypertac M12 Series comprises 3, 4, 5 and 8 way contact positions with over moulded or free assembly options and also straight or 

90 degree versions, all meeting the recognized industry standards. By providing a floating female hyperboloid crimp socket within 

a robust connector insulator and shell, the benefit of this anti-vibration arrangement enables a safe and secure connection in all 

types of environments. Additional benefits are realized by the easy handling and rapid contact assembly with a unique sideways clip 

insulator design. Insulator assembly within the connector is simplified with a simple touch, look and feel system to ensure correct 

orientation. An identical, highly compact form factor for each version is a further benefit, providing the highest possible connector 

to connector density. For the free assembled right-angle version, an adaptable cable entry termination allows for a change to a 

straight version in the field without compromising the IP67 reliability. 

Stamped hyperboloid 0.8mm (8way) and 1.0mm (3/4/5way) contacts support wire diameters of 0.03mm² to 0.5mm² (AWG32 to 20) 

which are suitable for automatic high speed crimping systems, providing further benefits of process stability and repeatability. In 

addition, 1.0mm machined contacts are available for the 3, 4 and 5way versions supporting a wide range of wire termination cross 

sections from 0.24mm² to 1.00mm² (AWG24 to AWG18). Cable diameters up to 10mm can be processed. Machined contacts with 

smaller termination cross sections are also available on demand. 

All D-coded 4-way and A-coded 4, 5, 8way arrangements provide a 360 degree screen termination which, when coupled with the 

all-metal shell, grants complete protection and shielding against EMI/EMC. Several panel mounting versions for cable and PCB 

termination provide a complete system.

Superior Contact Technology, Unrivalled System Performance 

Hypertac interconnect M12 solutions are built upon the unique Hypertac Hyperboloid Contact Technology. 

The Hypertac Hyperboloid contact 

The Hyperboloid socket has a number of spring wires, the position of which is defined by a wire carrier. This is fitted to an outer sleeve or shank 

that carries the termination of the socket. 

The spring wires within the socket are set a small angle to the centre line and are deflected when the mating pin contact enters. Each spring wire 

is deflected within its elastic limit and makes a line contact with the pin. A smooth wiping action reduces wear of the plating surfaces of the pin and 

socket wires. This construction allows a very tight control of the spring forces and hence the insertion and withdrawal forces. 

The Hypertac Hyperboloid contact design ensures unrivalled performance in terms of: 

Multiple line contacts of low resistance maintained under high levels of shock and vibration 

Low insertion forces 

Low wear of plating surfaces for long life 

Uniform electrical and mechanical characteristics over a high number of mating operations 

High current rating 

Hypertac contacts and connectors 

have been tested to: 

Sine vibrations (according to CEI 68-2-6) 20 g 

from 10 to 2,000 Hz 

Random vibrations (according to CEI 68-2-35) 

0.5 g² / Hz from 10 to 2,000 Hz 

Shock (according to CEI 68-2-27) 250 g during 0.4 ms 

(1/2 sine-wave) 

The results of the tests carried out on Hypertac contacts 

show no discontinuity when measured down to 2ns 

and a stable contact resistance. 

The Hypertac Hyperboloid contact provides the following 

commercial benefits: 

Low cost of ownership – does not need replacement 

during equipment life 

Reduced system costs – equipment design is less 

critical 

Reduced qualification costs – no re-testing due 

to contact failures
