MIL-DTL-38999 Series III, Tri-Start™ (TV Series) Part Builder
Application Standards/ Requirements
TV Series D38999 High performance, general duty and severe environmental applications. MS versions meet or exceed MIL-DTL-38999 Series III. Lanyard release style meets MIL-STD-1760 requirements.
Coupling/ Mounting Contact Termination
Threaded coupling. Quickly and completely mate in one 360° turn of the coupling nut. Self locking - lockwiring is eliminated 5 key/keyway polarization eliminates mismating. Universal mount holes for front or rear mounting. Locksmith metal keying to aid in blind mating. Crimp termination. Recessed pins (100% scoop-proof feature minimizes contact damage). Also available with PCB and compliant press-fit termination.
Performance Environ./Elect. Markets
Operating temp from -65°C to +200°C. Superior EMI shielding is achieved through the combination of grounding fingers and solid metal to metal mating. IP67 rating for environmental sealing. Corrosion resistance: shells of stainless steel or cadmium over nickel plating withstand a 500 hr. salt spray exposure. Operating voltage to 900 VAC (RMS) at sea level.
