D38999 Space Blind Mate Connector
Description:
Introducing Amphenol Aerospace’s Space Blind Mate Connector, part of the D38999+ family of products. Designed specifically for large panels where extra float is required in all axes, or for any application requiring a floating interface. Standing out from traditional blind-mate military style connectors, this design has extra float in the Z-axis for applications where the panel may back off, ensuring the connector doesn’t “back-off” and unmate with the panel. Available with standard D38999 accessory threads, cable banding platforms, or even in a bulkhead-style version.
