MIL-DTL-38999, Series III TVOptionsAmphenolAerospaceSeries III, TV Tri-Start Connectors, offer more versatility& options than any other interconnection family!High reliability and increased versatility bestdescribe Amphenol MIL-DTL-38999, Series IIIcircular connectors. Originally designedfor the harshest of environments and mostdemanding of applications, Amphenol MIL-DTL-38999 Series III, Tri-Start connectorscontinue to evolve in pace with the needs of anever-changing market.Amphenol Tri-Start connectors can beconfigured with a number of applicationspecific technologies like Filters, Hermetics,PC Tails, Fiber Optics, Flex, CLUTCH-LOK,Fail Safe, and contacts. Flexibility aids indesign optimization through the combinationof different technologies within a common,time-tested, harsh environment connectorbody.For more information about options pleasecall 800-678-0141 or visit www.amphenolaerospace.com.38999III II I SJT26482 83723 III 5015Matrix 2Matrix PyleCrimp RearRelease Matrix26500 PylePerformanceDesigned for PerformanceNumerous advantages in performance capability are designedinto the Amphenol Tri-Start Connector. A positive metal to metalcoupling design, grounding fingers, and elec troless nickel platingprovide superior EMI shielding capabil ity of 65 dB minimum at10 GHz.Acme threads provide coupling durability. Thicker wall sec tionsand a greater coupling surface area improve strength and shockresistance. Blunting of the thread on both the coupling nut andreceptacle eliminates cross coupling. The connector quickly matesand self locks in a 360° turn of the coupling nut.Elongated mounting holes permit the Tri-Start Connector to intermountwith various existing MIL-Spec box or wall mount receptacles,giving it a design replacement advantage.Shells of stainless steel, or cadmium over nickel plating pre ventsevere corrosion. Resistance is tested through expo sure to a 500hour salt spray. Composite versions provide protection from saltspray exposure for 2000 hours. Other finish options are available;see how to order Tri-Start metal and Tri-Start Composite.Recessed pins minimize potential contact damage in this100% scoop-proof connector. In a blind mating application,mating shells cannot “scoop” the pins and cause a shortingor bending of contacts.The design of the Amphenol Tri-Start interfacial seal meetsthe MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements for electrolyticerosion resistance.A rigid dielectric insert with excellent electrical characteristicsprovides durable protection to the contacts. The socketcontacts are probe proof, and all contacts are rear removable.They are plated in the standard 50 micro inchesminimum gold, with 100 micro inches as an option, andare available in standard Tri-Start insert arrangements andspecial Pyle® insert arrangements in sizes 10 power, 12,16, 20 and 22D con tacts. Special insert patterns are alsoavailable with larger contacts in sizes 4 and 0.PrintedCircuit BoardEMI FilterTransientFiber OpticsHigh SpeedContactsOptionsOthersContact Amphenol Aerospace for more information at 800-678-0141 • www.amphenol-aerospace.com19
