American Micro MIL-DTL-38999 (Series II) Connectors

C Series

MIL-DTL-38999 Hermetic connectors were developed for applications where a controlled atmosphere such as inert gasses, partial vacuums, or constant environments are needed. These receptacles are designed for use in aerospace, electronic, electrical power, and control circuits.

The C Series receptacles are manufactured to American Micro Products, Inc. (AMPI / ACE) standards and meet the intermateability requirements of MIL-DTL-38999 Series II. They are hermetically sealed with an all-glass seal to prevent air leakage in excess of .01 micron cubic foot per hour at one atmosphere. They are manufactured with conductive finishes to provide electrical continuity between mated halves prior to contact engagement. These connectors are manufactured in the low silhouette design to minimize weight and size.

Standard hermetic receptacles are supplied with either solder cup or eyelet-type contact terminations. Contacts for other applications such as thermocouple or flex prints are also available. Standard receptacles are steel shells with nickel-iron alloy contacts and a final coat of tin plate gold-plated nickeliron alloy contacts or stainless steel shells with gold-plated contacts. Other materials and finishes can be supplied to meet specific application requirements.

C Series receptacles meet the, voltage, salt spray, shock, and vibration requirements of MIL-DTL-38999.
