MIL-C-38999 connectors for harsh environments

18 October 2006 Interconnection

Amphenol’s MIL-C-38999 ­connectors are designed and approved to meet most stringent requirements of the military and aerospace industry.

Within the connector range, Amphenol produces four series of connectors. These cover low profile lightweight to ruggedised scoop proof connectors.

All connectors are rated at 175°C for olive drab finish and 200°C for electroless nickel. A cadmium-free olive drab version is available. Contact counts in the connector series range are from 1 to 128 with five sizes of contacts and over 100 insert platforms available.

With this range, Amphenol says that a MIL-C-38999 connector is available for the majority of harsh environment applications:

JT: Lightweight low-profile bayonet connector, ideal for use in an avionics box and other limited space conditions.

SJT: A lightweight scoop proof bayonet connector intermateable with MIL-C-26482 type connectors, currently used on European military aircraft.

LJT: A range of rugged scoop-proof bayonet connectors suitable for general duty applications ie, ground support systems.

TV: Highest performance connector with quick-thread coupling mechanism used in high vibration and EMI/RFI environments and on portable communication systems. A stainless steel connector firewall version is available for use on engine harnesses.
