ITT’s new space-grade connectors meet MIL-DTL-38999 class G specifications

SANTA ANA, CA – August 24, 2009 – ITT Interconnect Solutions, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of connectors, interconnects, and cable assemblies, is now qualified to manufacture MIL-DTL-38999 class G connectors, as well as class F (electroless nickel), W and B (cadmium) options. While ITT has developed space-grade connectors for many years, they are now designing products to meet the Thermal Vacuum Outgassing specification of MIL-DTL-38999.

The MIL-DTL-38999 Thermal Vacuum Outgassing requirements stipulate that: “all non-metallic materials shall not release greater than 1.0% total mass loss (TML) and 0.1% collected condensable material (CVCM).”

“By utilizing a special potting and lubricant material, we succeeded in meeting these demanding TML and CVCM parameters, and outgassing of the connectors is achieved by baking at 350 degrees C for 48 hours,” said Keith Teichmann, director of marketing for ITT Interconnect Solutions. “The connectors are offered in all standard product line and series I, II and II shell styles, and customers further benefit from a low-cost product with proven reliability.”

ITT’s MIL-DTL-38999 class G connectors feature lightweight aluminum shells and standard M39029 copper alloy contacts, and are available in a variety of layouts as described in MIL-STD-1560.  Operating temperature ranges from -65 degrees C to +200 degrees C.  The high-quality space-grade connectors are robust enough to withstand 500 mating cycles.  ITT’s MIL-DTL-38999 class G connectors are available for distribution from inventory.
