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. The reduced gap between the external and internal diameter of the socket ensures dramatically improved performance in high frequency environments and a steadier interconnection continuity profile.


High power version available for specific technical requirements of the industrial and railway high power applications.

  • Higher density with equivalent mechanical and electrical properties of Hypertac hyperboloid contact
  • High current handling vs. size
  • Single piece design that allows FEA instead of “trial & error” approach for new designs
  • High reliability, high resistance to salt spray
  • High signal speed thanks to the contact geometry
  • Self cleaning action
  • Long life
