History of Hyperboloid
Patented by FRB in 1960’s Early 70’s: Original US Licensees: IEH, Smiths
Interconnect, Curtiss-Wright Today: Only Manufacturers of Hyperboloid
connectors are IEH and the divisions of Smiths (Hypertac Ltd, Hypertronics)
Hyperboloid Technology
The Hyperboloid-shaped sleeve is formed by straight wires strung at an angle to the longitudinal axis.
When the pin is inserted into this sleeve, the wires stretch, well within elastic limits, to accommodate it. In doing so, the wires wrap themselves around the pin, providing a number of continuous line contact paths
Hyperboloid Concept
Wires strung on an internal wire carrier (inner sleeve), and enclosed by a front outer ring (front sleeve) and the terminal. Joints are calculated interference fits, insuring gas-tight interfaces between all elements of the Hyperboloid construction.
The unique geometry, precision processing, and careful attention to quality result in a highly desirable contact design which provides:
Hyperboloid Construction
Feature Wire basket expands to envelop mating pin when
inserted.
Benefit Less resistance in pin-socket interface, thus less
force required to mate and demate, especially in high pin count connectors
Feature Unlike the “plow and scrape” action of common
designs, Hyperboloid’s wiping action reduces wear on the contacts surfaces.
Benefit
Standard contacts are rated to last 500 mating cycles.
Hyperboloid contacts are rated for 100,000 mating cycles.
Feature Hyperboloid wire system envelops mating pin, thus
more lines of contact between pin and socket
Benefit Greater current-carrying capability, at ambient
temperature rise
Feature
The low mass and resulting low inertia of the wires allows them to follow the most extreme excursions of the pin without loss of contact. Test exceed 300 g’s without discontinuity.
Benefit Guaranteed electrical continuity regardless of the
direction or intensity of external and internal forces.

Some overlap between IEH and Smiths product lines: Smiths KA or HPD/HPF series = IEH HMK series Smiths DO series = IEH CMG series
As an M55302 QPL provider, IEH also competes with Airborn, Incon and Micross (formerly Continental)
IEH – Airborn comparison as follows: Airborn W Series = IEH HGM Series Airborn RM2 and RM3 Series = IEH HRM Series Airborn RM4 Series = IEH HMM Series
