Miniature connectors provide same data performance with 50% size and weight cut

Now in stock at Aerco is the AB Connector range of MABAC miniature D38999 connectors that provide D38999 Series III performance in a smaller, lighter package making them ideal for aviation and medical equipment, industrial applications and wearable equipment for military personnel. The new connectors make it possible to transmit at least as much data as MIL-DTL38999 Series III connectors with size and weight savings of up to 50%, says the company. Available in bayonet, threaded and push-pull versions the MABAC range provides MIL-DTL-38999 Series III capability in shell size 3, the smallest connector available. Easy to wire and handle and with an integrated backshell that accommodates a heat-shrink boot and braid retention band, the MABAC series is also compliant with over-moulding. Available in three shells sizes of 3, 5, 7 and retaining the 100% scoop proof and EMI shielding properties of the original D38999 Series III connectors, MABAC connectors have a high grade thermoplastic insert, silicone elastomer grommet and sealing and operating temperature range from 55C to 175C. The threaded versions have a triple-start thread and threaded coupling system that provides between 1/2 and 3/4 turn to mate. A ratchet system is provided on shell sizes 5 and 7.
