Frequently asked questions
What is a hyperboloid socket?
The socket is a cage of straight wires set at an angle so they form a hyperboloid. The pin is gripped along many lines of contact, giving low, stable resistance, low insertion force and good resistance to vibration.
Which receptacle should I use on a sealed enclosure?
Use the glass-sealed receptacle for the lowest leak rate (≤ 0.1 Pa·cm³/s), or a potted through-bulkhead receptacle when you need plugs on both sides of the bulkhead.
