ABAC D38999 Fast Facts

QPL (Aerospace, Defense, Communications, Transportation)

QPL Approved Product, Rigid Plastic/Silicone Rubber Insert, -65°C to + 175°C, 5 to 46amps, 1 to 128 contacts, Zinc Nickel to be available early 2010.

MIL aerospace connector.

The MIL-DTL-38999 Series III range of connectors are designed & approved to meet the most stringent requirements of the Military and Aerospace Industries.

The rugged design of these connectors offers a high performance when subjected to vibration, shock and EMI/RFI environments.

This range has a quick mate threaded coupling system combined with a high performance anti-vibration mechanism.

The stub acme style threads on the coupling nut and receptacles avoid the possibility of cross threading. This feature also improves the ease of blind mating.

The EMI/RFI performance is enhanced by the grounding spring mechanism.
