Features
- High-Reliability
D38999 - TV style connectors are used in some of the most rigorous environments and must perform flawlessly under wide temperature ranges, high vibrations and be resistant to a vast array of contaminants. Visual confirmation of mating is provided by the plug coupling nut covering a red band on the mating shell. - Outstanding EMI-Shielding Protection
These connectors provide excellent signal integrity due to the shielded mating system that utilizes 360-degree shell grounding fingers, providing protection of up to 65 dB at 10 GHz. - Operates at Extreme Temperatures
These connectors operate in temperatures from -85°F to +392°F (-65°C to +200°C). - High-Density Connectors
If space is at a premium, TV connectors offer up to 128 contacts per connector. Ideally suited for the demands of digital electronics on fly-by wire aircraft, advanced robotics, and critical industrial equipment. - Self-Locking Connector Systems
Self-locking coupling nuts and self-locking endbell accessory hardware provide the best performance for threaded connectors in high-vibration applications. - Broad Range of Military and Commercial Accessories
Many military-standard endbells to M85049 specifications and a wide array of cable termination styles are available. Straight, 45 and 90-degree endbells come in many styles from cost-effective standard clamp to shielded, environmentally-sealed and everything in between. - Contact Protection
TV connectors are designed to be scoop-proof. Pin contacts are recessed to prevent contact damage and contact shorting when connector halves are mated. - MIL-DTL-38999-Approved
TV’s are fully-interminable and intermountable with all other manufacturer’s MIL-DTL-38999 series III connectors. - Ground Plane options are now available.
