SANTA ANA, CA – July 20, 2009 – ITT Interconnect Solutions, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of connectors, interconnects, and cable assemblies, has developed a high reliability 38999 connector for both RF and signal contacts. Designated the 38999 Series, the connector supports up to 128 contacts and features superior EMI shielding while meeting stringent MIL-DTL-38999 series I, II and III standards.

“Originally designed for a petroleum customer needing a reliable signal and RF solution for exploration equipment, the connector had to perform well under severe environmental conditions including high temperatures, shock and vibration, while also being able to withstand corrosive elements,” said Keith Teichmann, director of marketing for ITT Interconnect Solutions. “In addition to meeting MIL-DTL-38999 standards, the connector is housed in a light-weight, low profile package and includes features ideal to the industrial and commercial markets, such as blind mate capability, rear release snap-in crimp contacts and a choice of bayonet or threaded coupling to facilitate quick and easy connection.”

Along with harsh industrial applications such as petroleum exploration equipment, the 38999 Series connector is ideal for avionics, military and commercial aircraft, and satellite applications.

The connector is 100% scoop proof and employs a corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy shell with cadmium over nickel plating. The connectors are capable of withstanding 500 hours of salt spry exposure. Custom designs and space-grade materials are also available.
