The devices offer very high performance capabilities and support high vibration applications.
They are ideally suited 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 perfect for PCB applications as the contacts come pre-assembled into the connectors, significantly easing cable-to-board wiring. Optional alignment disks ensure a smooth assemble process.
Different versions of Amphenol’s Tri-Start MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors are available: “TV” metal versions (aluminum, stainless steel or marine bronze) as well as “CTV” composite versions, which offer 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 enhance the reliability. Last but not least vacuum degassing for space applications (removing any harmful materials per rigorous NASA or military specifications) is also available through Powell.
