Solder Mount 20C Receptacles

B 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 B Series receptacles are manufactured to American Micro Products, Inc. (AMPI / ACE) standards and meet the intermateability requirements of MIL-DTL-38999 Series I. 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. Manufactured in the scoop-proof design, the contacts are located so as to prevent handling damage or inadvertent electrical contact.

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 and gold-plated nickel-iron allow contacts, or stainless steel shells with gold-plated contacts. Other materials and finishes can be supplied to meet specific application requirements.

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