Transient ProtectionMOV– Metal Oxide Varistor ConnectorsAmphenolAerospace• Filter connector size package• Protection for 14, 31, 38 DC voltage circuits• Radiation hardened• No additional circuits required• Low impedance• Increased reliability• Nanosecond response time• Elimination of costly externalsuppression assembliesThe Amphenol ® MOV Connector offers the versatility of astan dard connector, with transient protection for sensitivecircuits.Transients in electrical circuits caused by a suddenrelease of stored energy can originate within or outside ofthe circuit and may be repeatable or random.Regardless of frequency or origin, transient caused failuresgenerated by load switching, lightning, electrostaticdischarge (ESD) and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) candestroy unpro tected IC components.Compatible with present filter connector assemblyprocedures, MOVs can be combined with existing filters.Internal housing of the MOV offers weight and space savingsover other pro tection methods available today, andeliminates costly and bulky exterior suppressionmechanisms in appropriate situations. MOVs are presentlyavailable in contact sizes 22, 20 and 16.Transient protection can be provided in receptacle, plug oradapter configuration. These connectors are intermateableand intermountable with the following MIL-Specs:• MIL-DTL-5015• MIL-DTL-26482• MIL-DTL-26500• MIL-DTL-27599• MIL-DTL-38999• MIL-DTL-83723MOV38999III II I SJT26482 83723 III 5015Matrix 2Matrix PyleCrimp RearRelease Matrix26500 PylePrintedCircuit BoardEMI FilterTransientFiber OpticsHigh SpeedContactsOptionsOthersContact Amphenol Aerospace for more information at 800-678-0141 • www.amphenol-aerospace.com333
