Description:
The Deep Space 38999 Connector series is designed for extreme cold environments. They are built to retain a grommet-to-wire and contact-to-contact seal in temperatures below -85 °F (-65 °C), with inserts that have been cycle tested between -319° F (-195 °C) to 392 °F (200 °C). Additional testing including vibration at -319° F (-195 °C) can be found in the test report.
Deep Space connectors are excellent for a range of space-borne applications, such as the bitter temperature swings of low Earth orbit (LEO) space where satellites and space vehicles spend significant time during operations. They’re also fitting for space launch systems, future lunar missions, deep space exploration, space station applications, and more.
Deep Space’s capabilities in frigid temperatures also make it an excellent fit for the extremely low-temperature operating environments in superconducting qubit quantum computers.
Using modification code (750) on a 38999 commercial coded part number upgrades the elastomers to our -319 °F (-195 °C) capable silicone blend and includes other necessary upgrades to components and materials ex. TVSP00RF25-35P(750).
