Contact Technologies

We integrate the highest performance contact technologies into a broad range of high power, high speed quadrax/twinax, fiber optic, EMI/EMP filter, RF spring probe connectors, that provide durable interconnect solutions to our customers’ needs.

Coaxtac

Low-insertion-force coaxial contact system boasts electrical repeatability of more than 25,000 insertion/extraction cycles.

Custom Grid Array

Custom Grid Array layout to offer RF performance with the same stable signal integrity offered by cabled coax solutions but with reduced size, weight and cost.

Learn More

Edge Card

Designed for disposable or limited use applications where the edge-card contact module is used in the reusable connector, mating with a pcb on the disposable side.

Learn More

EMI-EMP Filter

EMI filter connectors use multi-layer ceramic capacitor arrays together with inductive materials to realize robust, high performance low pass filter networks.

Learn More

Fiber Optics

Smiths Interconnect offers both multimode and single-mode fiber optic contacts. Both types consist of two basic components: the core and the cladding, which traps the light in the core.

High Speed Copper

Quadrax and twinax contacts are designed for transmission of Ethernet high speed signal in harsh environments where integrity and reliability are essential.

Learn More

H-Pin®

The H-Pin provides the mechanical and electrical benefits of a spring probe pin with the cost savings and manufacturing process control of a fully automated stamping and assembly manufacturing process.

Learn More

Hyperboloid

Hypertac® hyperboloid is the original superior performing contact technology for use in demanding environments where reliability and safety are critical.

Learn More

HyperSpring® contact

Hyperspring® contacts combine our high-reliability hyperboloid contact technology, with the mechanical features of a spring-loaded contact, to produce interconnections with improved signal integrity, high reliability and current density, and proven parametric stability over time.

Learn More

RF Coax & Triax

Our complete line of RF coaxial and triaxial connectors and contacts include standard formats: MIL-DTL-38999, ARINC 404 and ARINC 600. RF micro connectors include high frequency coax, MDCX and MDHC.

Spring Probe

Spring probes featuring IDI technology are designed to optimize performance in high reliability, multicycle applications. Spring probes are compliant which makes them ideal for blind mate applications as they selfcorrect for x, y, z, rotational and angular misalignment of the target.

Learn More

Tortac® Contact

Tortac® is the evolution of Hypertac® hyperboloid contact design dedicated to high density connectors. Boasting the same unique characteristics of the Hypertac hyperboloid contact on equal pin diameter the Tortac® socket features a smaller pitch that allows for a higher contact density.

Wiping contact

Smiths Interconnect’s wiping contact is a single-piece, metal contact retained within the test socket by an elastomer. The highly compliant contact scrubs against the device pad ensuring fresh surface contact without damaging the load board contact pads.
