A mphenol Tri-Start Series III - the highest performance MIL - DTL - 38999* Connector Amphenol Tri-Start MIL-DTL -38999 Series III connectors offer the highest performance capabilities for both general duty and severe environment applications. Meeting or exceeding MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements, the Tri-Start Connector with standard metal shells (aluminium or stainless steel with several finish options) offers these Coupling Net Quick Coupling Thread features: Ratchet EMI Shielding - Solid metal to metal coupling, grounding fingers, electroless nickel plating and thicker wall sections provide superior EMI shielding capability of 65dB.

8 Minimum at 10 GHz Contact Protection - Recessed pins in this 100% scoop- proof Connector minimize potential contact damage Moisture Resistance - Improved interfacial seal design helps prevent electrolytic erosion of contacts Anti- Decoupling Device Corrosion Resistance - Shells of stainless steel or Plug Shell Spring Fingers (EMI). cadmium over nickel plating withstand a 500 hour salt spray exposure Vibration /Shock - Operates under severe high MIL- Qualified to MIL-DTL-38999, Rev. K, the temperature vibration, through 2000C Amphenol Composite Tri-Start Connector offers a lightweight, corrosion resistant Firewall Capability - Available in a stainless steel shell, Connector with the same high performance class RK, RS features as its metal counterpart.

9 The Composite Tri-Start Connector also includes Lockwiring Eliminated - Unique, self - locking, quick the following features: coupling Connector eliminates lockwiring Lightweight - 17% - 70% weight savings Quick Coupling - Completely mates and self-locks in a (17-40% weight savings vs. aluminum). 3600 turn of the coupling nut (60-70% weight savings vs. stainless steel). See Composite weight comparison chart, pg. 23. Inventory Support Commonality- Uses standard MIL- DTL-38999 contacts, application tools and insert Corrosion Resistance - Available in standard arrangements MIL-DTL-38999 olive drab cadmium (1750C) and electroless nickel plating (2000C), both Electrostatic Discharge Protection (ESD) - Protection withstanding 2000 hours of salt spray exposure.

10 For sensitive circuitry without diodes, varistors, etc., with The base material is able to withstand an the use of the Faraday Cage principal which shunts high indefinite exposure to salt spray voltage, high current discharge events Durability - 1500 couplings minimum (in reference to Connector couplings, not contacts). Extended Life Contact - MIL - approved plating process which provides 1500 couplings minimum 2. A mphenol Tri-Start The ultimate subminiature cylindrical Designed for performance Numerous advantages in performance capability are designed into the Amphenol Tri-Start Connector .
