Three new ranges of protective caps have been launched by Amphenol Socapex for its circular connectors. These ranges round out the current standard series to provide complete and lasting protection for all MIL-DTL-38999 Series I, II and III, MIL-DTL-26482, RJ Field and USB Field connectors.

The self-closing caps screw directly onto receptacles and are available in two types of material - composite for MIL-DTL-26482 connectors and aluminium for the MIL-DTL-38999 range (this version will be available soon).

A range of plating finishes are also available including nickel, black zinc nickel and cadmium. This is available to guarantee increased protection against corrosion, impacts and vibrations. In addition, the metal cap for the MIL-DTL-38999 range is IP67.

Standard metal caps
The standard versions with lanyard are compatible with MIL-DTL-38999, MIL-DTL-26482, RJ Field and USB Field connectors. The caps are available in aluminium, stainless steel and bronze with a range of plating finishes, lanyards and eyelets to meet a variety of applications and environments (IP68).

Silicone caps
Amphenol Socapex's silicone caps with nylon cord can withstand temperatures up to +200°C and are compatible with the aforementioned connectors. They are an alternative and are IP67 rated for harsh environments where damage from dust and moisture is possible. These new protective caps are delivered in a maximum of four weeks.
