9 connectivity - Series Ill Composite Connectors The Next Generation of Durable, Lightweight, Corrosion-Resistant Composite Connectors AEROSPACE, DEFENSE & MARINE /// DEUTSCH ACT MIL-DTL-38999 SERIES Ill COMPOSITE CONNECTORSDEUTSCH ACT MIL-DTL-38999 Series Ill Composite Connectors Lightweight, Corrosion-Resistant, High-Performance Composite Connectors LIGHTWEIGHT COMPOSITE Up to 40% lighter than aluminum * Up to 70% lighter than stainless steel * Corrosion resistant - withstands 2000 hours of salt spray HIGH PERFORMANCE * -65C to +200C temperature range 1500 mating cycles C@N(-1 anol Oxo) a) t=[ol arrangements available RELIABLE Self-locking threaded coupling * Robust ACME threads help decrease chance of damage * 100% scoop proof Contact retention system provides excellent contact retention under severe vibration EMI PROTECTED * Grounding fingers for excellent EMI protection * Connector is grounded when the shells meet, even before the contacts are engaged Trapezoidal thread for excellent shell-to-shell continuity The DEUTSCH ACT MIL-DTL-38999 Series III high-performance composite connectors from TE Connectivity (TE) offer high-density contact arrangements in a miniature composite circular connector. Weight-Saving Reliability Composite connectors are significantly lighter than their metal counterparts, while presenting a robust interconnection platform. Their reliability includes exceptional corrosion resistance, as evidenced by their ability to withstand 2000 hours of salt spray. A Legacy of Rugged Reliability Originally designed as military and aerospace components, ACT Series connectors are now being used in many applications requiring extremely reliable interconnections. These connectors are quick mating, environmentally sealed, triple-lead threaded, have a self-locking coupling, and are EMI/RFI shielded. Maximum Flexibility for Exceptional Performance ACT Series connectors are available in 3 shell styles, 2 plating options, 6 shell clockings, over 50 different insert arrangements supporting size 23, 22, 20, 16, 12, 10, and 8 contacts for power and signal, as well as coax and twinax contacts. High-reliability ACT Series connectors feature a scoop-proof design for easy, secure mating, and a threaded coupling for excellent vibration resistance. These lightweight, rugged, environmentally sealed connectors survive the harsh environments of commercial and military aerospace, ground defense, and marine applications.
