Product Description
Mercotac Model 305 Rotary Electrical Connector
Mercotac Model 305 - 3-Conductor Precision Rotary Connector
The Mercotac Model 305 is a specialized 3-channel rotary connector designed for simultaneous transmission of multiple signals or low-power circuits. Rated for 4A per conductor, this unit features a brushless liquid metal path that ensures a constant contact resistance of less than 1mΩ. Designed for speeds up to 1800 RPM, the 305 delivers a "noiseless" electrical bridge for sensitive instrumentation, maintaining signal integrity for high-frequency data up to 200 MHz over a lifespan of more than 1 billion revolutions.
Product Highlights
- 3-Channel Versatility: Triple conductors for multi-signal or 3-phase data
- Brushless Technology: Maintenance-free liquid metal contact system
- Extreme Mechanical Life: Rated for over 1 billion rotations
- Signal Purity: Negligible electrical noise for sensitive sensors
- High Frequency: Supports data and RF signals up to 200 MHz
- Zero Maintenance: Eliminates debris and brush replacement cycles
Primary Applications
- Multi-Channel Sensor and Transducer Feedback

Operational & Safety Guidelines
- • Mounting Orientation: To maintain the liquid metal pool, the unit must be mounted within 45° of the vertical axis.
- • Connection: The use of flexible leads is recommended to prevent mechanical stress on the connector housing.
- • Housing Note: The anodized aluminum body is electrically "hot" to one of the internal conductors.
