Assembly Line - qualified according to
VG 96912-JN 1003-PAN 6433-2-Pr EN 3372

This series is derived from MIL-C-38999 series 1 and 2 and incorporates lightweight, scoop proof and high contact density features.

The design, performance and mechanical robustness of this product meet the requirements of following applications:

  • military, aerospace
  • ballistic missiles and weapon systems,
  • marine equipment.

8 ST connector features include:

  • a very high contact density,
  • MIL-C-38999 series 1 contact layouts,
  • the male contacts are recessed into the body to prevent damage by mismating (100% scoop-proof)
  • keyway orientation
  • RFI-EMI shielding and shell-to-shell continuity
  • receptable fixings and backshells as per pattern 602 and MIL-C-26482 series 2.

The plug, receptable bodies, and backshells, are manufactured from aluminium alloy and protected by cadmium or nickel plating. The shells are locked together by a bayonet coupling mechanism. Gold-plated crimp or straight spill contact are extracted from connector rear and are retained in the insulator by a metal clip.

Assembly Line - QPL listed MIL-C-38999/III

The 8 D connector is in accordance with the MIL-C-38999 series III and Pr EN 3645 standard. Offered in aluminium or composite shell material, this familiy gives:

  • a high contact density up to 128 cts (#22D, 20, 16, 12 and 8 in 9 shell sizes),
  • a quick screw coupling with self locking mechanism,
  • 100% scoop proof offering polarising options by angular positioning of keys,
  • EMI enhanced protection by shielding ring and shell to shell bottoming.

Moreover, 8 D composite connector reaches high performances in terms of:

  • resistance to salt spray: (> 2000 hours of salt spray)
  • endurance: (> 1500 cycles, mating/unmating).

Its choice is recommended wherever weight is critical (typically - 25% versus aluminium version) or in particularly severe climatic and mechanical environments.

8 D family has applications in :

  • aeronautics and military,
  • marine, offshore,
  • industrial,

and all instances where superior quality connectors are required.
