A shielded version of the modular HyperMod connector from Hypertac meets the emerging needs for high-speed signal interconnections in railway applications.

Hypertac has announced a shielded version of its modular HyperMod connector to meet the emerging needs for high-speed signal interconnections in railway applications, such as the communication networks made available to passengers within coaches. Its shielding effectiveness meets the exacting EMC requirements of railway environments. The HyperMod shielded modular connector was designed to respond to the growing need to protect signals against electromagnetic interference, driven by the growing use of electronic devices in mass transportation.

The continuous increase in transmission frequencies makes equipment more susceptible to such effects.

The shock-proof aluminium shell of the shielded HyperMod is protected by an environmentally-friendly (RoHS-compliant) conductive plating of trivalent chromium.

The sealing gasket, made of conductive elastomer, ensures shell-to-shell continuity.

The two locking devices available, either with a double lever or with screws, compress the seal to establish perfect grounding.
