MIL-DTL-38999 connectors for general duty and severe environment applications

Available from Powell Electronics are Amphenol's Tri-Start MIL-DTL-38999 Series III / EN3645 thread coupling connectors for general duty and severe environment applications. The devices deliver very high-performance capabilities and support high-vibration applications. They are ideal for blind mating areas with elevated temperatures. The connectors fully comply with the MIL-DTL-38999 standard, and the contacts adhere to AS39029 requirements.

The Tri-Start MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors are ideal for PCB applications, as the contacts are pre-assembled into the connectors, greatly simplifying cable-to-board wiring. Optional alignment disks ensure a smooth assembly process. Different versions of Tri-Start MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors are available: 'TV' metal versions (aluminium, stainless steel or marine bronze) as well as 'CTV' composite versions, which provide a lightweight, corrosion-resistant connector with the same high-performance features as its metal counterpart. Diverse shell varieties are also available, including clinch nut, double flange and reduced flange options. Contact pre-tinning and double pre-tinning options improve the reliability. Last but not least, vacuum degassing for space applications (removing any harmful materials per rigorous NASA or military specifications) is also available from the company.
