Hypertronics Releases Miniature Version of its Proven HyperGrip® Connector

Hypertronics Corporation, a Smiths Interconnect business and world-leading provider of high performance interconnect solutions for the most demanding applications announced today an expansion of its HyperGrip connector product line with the release of a miniature version of its tried and tested interconnect solution; the HG0-Mini HyperGrip.®

Available immediately, the 5-position Mini HyperGrip delivers all of the proven HyperGrip features and benefits in a significantly smaller package; one that offers high cycle life, low contact resistance, and can be color-coded, custom- keyed, and sealed. The Mini HyperGrip® comes with the look and cosmetic appearance that is preferred by the medical community, and that meets all medical industry requirements.

“The Mini HyperGrip® represents another step forward for Hypertronics in leading the way in addressing the changing landscape of our customers needs,” said Vadim Radunsky, President of Hypertronics Corporation. “As medical devices continue to become smaller, lighter, and more user friendly over time, the connectors used in them must follow suit with reduction in size while maintaining the same robust functionality of larger connectors.”

The shifting trends in the medical industry have created a changing operating environment that has resulted in a growing number of application scenarios where the demand for small reliable connectors is increasing. As the downsizing of key components allows medical designers to produce smaller products, Hypertronics continues to keep pace with the industry’s needs, and is responding by supplying products that meet the needs of medical device designers. The Hypertronics HG0 Mini HyperGrip® is tailor-made to address the form factor reduction trend that is taking place across the medical device market segment.
