Amphenol Aerospace D38999 Series III PCB Connectors

Amphenol Aerospace D38999 Series III PCB Connectors provide high-density electrical connectivity for printed circuit board applications using rigid or flex print assembly methods. These circular MIL-spec connectors integrate pre-assembled AS39029-compliant contacts and support aluminum, composite, or steel shells with conductive finishes for EMI shielding and environmental durability. The MIL-DTL-38999 series III connectors include double-flange and clinch nut mounting styles to enhance grounding stability and reduce mechanical stress on PCB connections. These devices feature an operating temperature range from -65°C to +200°C, provide EMI shielding effectiveness exceeding 65dB at 10GHz, and support contact arrangements of up to 128 positions. The D38999 PC board connectors are used in military aircraft avionics, naval electronics, and spacecraft instrumentation requiring robust PCB-mounted solutions.
