  • MIL-DTL-38999 Series III
MIL-DTL-38999 Series III is the newest cylindrical connector designed for highest performance capabilities used in both general purpose and severe environment applications.

These connectors feature an improved “one-turn” coupling system, utilizing self-locking acme thread. Acme threads provide coupling durability, while thicker wall sections and greater coupling surface area improve strength and shock resistance. Blunting of the threads on both receptacle and plug coupling nut eliminates cross threading.

Elongated mounting holes permit the Series III Connector to intermount with various existing Mil-Spec flange mounted receptacles, giving it a design replacement advantage.

Wall mount receptacles, jam nut receptacles and straight self-locking RFI plugs are offered in 9 shell sizes and 54 insert arrangements utilizing M39029 contacts in sizes 22D, 20, 16, 12, 10 power and 8 twinax.

Series Prefix: D38999/

Series Applications: High-performance military aircraft, Commercial airlines, Communications equipment, Armored personnel carriers & tanks, Missiles, Shipboard
