MIL-DTL-38999
Features and Application
Series I
Features and Application
MIL-DTL-38999 Series I is a bayonet coupling subminiture
conguration with high contact density, ideal for smaller wire
gauge, general-purpose applications. ese environment-
resisting connectors are 100% “scoop-proof.” Pins are
recessed in elongated shells to prevent the possibility of
bending contacts when plugs are scooped into the mating
receptacles.
is family of connectors is oered in 5 receptacle-mounting
styles. ey include square ange receptacles, for both front
and rear panel (wall) mounting; square ange receptacles, for
both front and rear box mounting; and jam nut receptacles
which incorporate “O” ring seals, designed for rear panel
“D” hole mounting.
Standard plugs provide RFI protection by incorporating a
continuous strip of attached grounding ngers attenuating
interference up to 1 GHz.
Fiy-seven insert arrangements per MIL-STD-1560 are
tooled and qualied to MIL-DTL-38999 Series I, utilizing
2 to 128 contacts. Contacts come in sizes 22M, 22D, 20, 16,
12, and 8 (coax and twinax), terminating wire sizes from 28
gauge to 12 gauge including coaxial cable.
ese connectors are available in wide range of shell materials
and nishes. Aluminum shells are oered in electroless nickel,
olive drab cadmium and bright cadmium. Other nishes
such as anodic and zinc cobalt are available upon request to
commercial callouts only. In addition, we oer passivated
stainless steel shells with standard environment-resisting
inserts (commercial callouts only), and for highly corrosive
environments, nickel-aluminum-bronze shells with standard
environment-resisting inserts (commercial callouts only).
Universal I/R Tool – A single, expendable plastic tool is
used for both insertion and removal of contacts.
Scoop-Proof Design – Recessed pins in elongated shells
minimize the possibility for contact damage. In a blind
mating application, mating shells cannot “scoop” the pins,
and cause a shorting or bending of contacts.
Closed-Entry Socket Insert – Hard dielectric socket face
has lead-in chamfers for positive alignment of pins (even
partially bent within pre-established limits) with sockets.
Interfacial Pin Insert Seal – Raised moisture barriers
around each pin, which mate into lead-in chamfers of hard
face socket insert, provide individual contact sealing.
Interfacial seal is never touched by service tools.
Elastomer Wire Sealing Grommet – Sealing over a wide
range of wire diameters is assured by a triple wire seal in
each cavity at the rear of the connector.
Superior Contact Stability – Rear release crimp contact
system features a stamped beryllium-copper retaining clip
captivated by molded-in shoulders of each contact cavity in
the insulator. A rear-inserted M81969 plastic tool expands
the tines beyond the shoulder, releasing the contact.
Shell Polarization – Alternate key/keyway positions prevent
cross mating of adjacent connectors having identical insert
arrangement.

Environmental Seal
Wired, mated connectors with specied accessories at-
tached, shall meet the altitude-immersion test specied in
MIL-DTL-38999.
Fluid Resistance
Connectors resist specied immersions in MIL-PRF-7808,
MIL-PRF-23699, MIL-PRF-5606, M2-V Chevron oil, Coolanol

Shell-to-Shell Conductivity
• Finish F = 1.0 millivolt maximum potential drop
• Finishes A and B = 2.5 millivolts maximum potential drop
Voltage Rating
Shielding Eectiveness
RFI and EMI attenuation at the specied frequencies meet
the requirements of MIL-DTL-38999.
• RFI shielding eectiveness of mated connectors with
RFI backshells is measured in a triaxial radio frequency
leakage xture.
• EMI shielding eectiveness is measured at the interface
of mated connectors and tested by the mode-stirred
technique specied in method 3008 of MIL-STD-1344.
Shock and Vibration Requirements
Wired, mated connectors shall not be damaged, nor shall
there be a current interruption longer than one microsecond
when subjected to the following:
Standard Shock
Mated connectors withstand a pulse of approximate half
sine wave of 300 G ± 15 percent magnitude with duration of
3 ± 1 milliseconds applied in three axes per MIL-STD-1344,
method 2004.
High Impact Shock
When mounted as specied in MIL-S-901, grade A, a drop
of a 400 lb. Hammer from 1 foot, 3 feet and 5 feet applied to
connector in three axes, totaling nine impacts.
Vibration
Mated connectors, with proper accessories, withstand the
following vibration levels:
• Sine Vibration per MIL-STD-202, method 204, test
condition G.
• Random Vibration per MIL-STD-1344, method 2005,
test condition V and test condition VI, Letter “J” at ambi-
ent temperature.

Note: e establishment of electrical safety factors is le
entirely to the designer, as he is in the best position to know
exactly what peak voltages, switching currents, transients,
etc., can be expected in a particular circuit.

Contact Installation Instructions
Series I
Contact Installation
Instructions
Crimping Contacts
1. Select the appropriate crimp tool and ensure that the
proper crimp head positioner is used.
2. Cycle the tool to be sure the indentors are open.
3. Determine the correct selector setting for the wire size
from the data plate on the positioner (turret head
assembly) and set the selector knob on the crimp tool
to match.
4. Place the contact, mating end rst, into the tool.
5. Insert the stripped wire into the hollow end of the
contact. Be sure the wire is inserted as far as it will go.
6. Close the tool completely to crimp. Unless the tool is
closed completely, the tool will not release the contact.
7. Remove the crimped contact from the tool. Check the
inspection hole to verify that the wire is fully inserted.
Insertion of Contacts
1. Before inserting the contacts, unscrew the accessories
(clamps, backshells or adapters) from rear of plug or
recep tacle. Slide the hardware over the wire bundle in
the proper order for reassembly aer all the contacts
are inserted.
2. To assist insertion of contacts, lubricate insulator
(grommet) cavities with isopropyl alcohol. Alcohol will
evaporate and will not leave a conductive lm. Caution:
Never use any lubricant other than isopropyl alcohol.
3. Place the correct insertion tool on the contact so that the
wire runs along the groove in the tool. (Tool tip will butt
against the shoulder.) Hold the plug or receptacle body
rmly.
4. Beginning with a center cavity, insert the contact into
the insulator with a slow, even pressure until the contact
snaps into position. Make sure the contact and tool are
held perpendicular to the face of the insert during the
contact installation or the grommet could be damaged.
4.1 If contacts are not inserted all the way prior to
removing insertion tool, do not try to reinsert the
insertion tool. Instead, remove the contact and try
again; otherwise reinserting the insertion tool may
damage the inside of the contact cavity.
5. Remove tool and check the face of the connector for
proper contact installation. Proper installation may also
be checked by pulling back lightly on the wire to make
sure the contact is properly seated.
Completion
Aer all the cavities have been lled, slide the hardware back
into position on the connector and tighten.
Extraction of Contacts (Rework)
1. Slide the hardware back over the wire bundle.
2. Select the appropriate tool. Place the wire into the
extraction tool of the pin or socket.
3. Slowly slide the extraction tool down wire into the
contact cavities until the tool tip bottoms against the
contact shoulder, expanding the clip retaining tines. Hold
the wire rmly in the tool and pull the wired contact and
tool straight out of the rear of the insulator.
