Description:

Amphenol® Tri-Start MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Connectors offer the highest performance capabilities for both general duty and severe environment applications. Meeting or exceeding MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements, Amphenol's Tri-Start connector is available in aluminum, stainless steel or composite with several finish options.

Consult Amphenol Aerospace about BACC63, EN3645, and other industry specification order information.

Features & Benefits:

  • Aluminum, Stainless Steel, and Composite shells
  • EMI Shielding: solid metal-to-metal coupling, grounding fingers provide superior EMI shielding
  • 100% scoop-proof connector minimizes potential contact damage - Improved interfacial seal design
  • Stainless steel or cadmium over nickel plating withstand a 500-hour salt spray exposure
  • Operates under severe high-temperature vibration, through 392 °F (200 °C)
  • Firewall Capability
  • Unique, self-locking, quick coupling connector eliminates lockwiring
  • Stainless Steel qualified to BACC63DB and BACC63DC specifications

Test Data

Amphenol® Tri-Start connectors provide EMI/EMP shielding capability which exceeds MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements.

The TV and CTV Series III connector with standard solid metal-to-metal coupling, EMI grounding fin­gers and conductive finishes have proven to be the ultimate in EMI/EMP shielding effectiveness. The charts illustrate shielding effectiveness data which is typical of Tri-Start connectors tested with the nickel finish (Class F-metal, Class M-composite) over a wide frequency range.

The vibration capability of the Tri-Start Series is shown in the chart below. This illustrates the most severe vibration envelope of any qualified connec­tor available today.

These capabilities along with a +200°C, -65°C temperature rating and superior moisture sealing protection pro­vide the user with a connector that can withstand the most rigorous application.

Weight Comparisons (Composite vs. Metal)

Depending on the shell style, shell size and contact count, weight savings can range from 17% to 40% compared to standard aluminum product.
