D38999 Series iii connectors

MIL-DTL-38999 connectors are high performance cable to panel interconnects that are suitable for military, aerospace and harsh environment applications. They are available with defined high density insert arrangements supporting up to 128 contacts across a variety of terminations within four main body and mating styles (series I, II, III and IV). See Style Variants below for information about 38999 series differences. NYKCS also supplies JN1003/VG96912 connectors known as "Series 1.5".

38999 connectors feature a number of Product Options covering shell sizes, couplings, contact termination options, body materials and platings. Consequently this series of circular connectors is suited to a very wide range of electronic, mechanical and environmentally demanding applications.

Please contact us for unbiased specialist advise. We can assemble Series III from Conesys to meet your specific requirements or supply from a number of our trusted OEM's including Amphenol. As a result NYKCS is able to source the best solution to meet your application and scheduling needs.

Did you know?

There is an industry move away from the use of hazardous materials such as Cadmium, which is driven by the requirements of RoHS. For this reason mil spec d38999 connectors are available with Black Zinc Nickel plating. This conductive and non-reflective black finish is approved for 500 hrs salt spray endurance and is fast becoming the new defence industry standard.

Please contact us at NYK and we will advise and recommend alternative RoHS compliant products and their availability.
