Amphenol Tir-Star
Series III - the highest performance
MIL-DTL-38999* connector

Amphenol Tri-Start MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Connectors offer the highest performance capabilities for both general duty and severe environment applications. conform to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III require-ments, the Tri-Start connector with standard metal shells (aluminum or stainless steel with several finish options) offers these features:

  • EMI Shielding solid metal to metal coupling, grounding fingers, electroless nickel plating,
    and thicker wall sections provide superior EMI shielding capability of 65dBminimum at 10 GHz

  • Contact Protection - recessed pins in this 100% scoop-proof connector minimize potential contact damage

  • Moisture Resistance - improved interfacial seal design helps prevent electrolytic erosion of contacts

  • Corrosion Resistance - shells of stainless steel or cadmium over nickel plating withstand a 500 hour salt spray exposure

  • Vibration/Shock - operates under severe high temperature vibration, through 200�C

  • Firewall Capability - available in a stainless steel shell, class RK, RS

  • Lockwiring Eliminated - unique, self-locking, quick cou-pling connector eliminates lockwiring

  • Quick Coupling - completely mates and self-locks in a 360� turn of the coupling nut

  • Inventory Support Commonality - uses standard MIL-DTL-38999 contacts, application tools and insert arrangements

  • Electrostatic Discharge Protection (ESD) - protection for sensitive circuitry without diodes, varistors, etc.,
    with the use of the Faraday Cage principal which shunts high voltage, high current discharge events

Amphenol Series III connector conforms to MIL-DTL-38999, Rev. K, the Amphenol Composite Tri-Start Connector offers a lightweight, corrosion resistant connector with the same high performance features as its metal counterpart. The Composite Tri-Start Connector also includes the following features:

  • Lightweight - 17% � 70% weight savings (17�40% weight savings vs. aluminum) (60�70% weight savings vs. stainless steel) See Composite weight comparison chart, pg. 23.

  • Corrosion Resistance - available in standard MILDTL-38999 olive drab cadmium (175�C) and electroless nickel plating (200�C), both withstanding 2000 hours of salt spray exposure. The base material is able to withstand an indefinite exposure to salt spray.

  • Durability - 1500 couplings minimum (in reference to connector couplings, not contacts)

  • Extended Life Contact - Mil-approved plating process which provides 1500 couplings minimum
