38999 - Power description

The 38999-Power connector is designed for high power transmission in harsh environments. Derived from the MIL-DTL-38999 series, Amphenol Socapex 38999 power connectors are equipped with ruggedized power inserts that can handle up to 500A. They are available in various shell types, including MIL-DTL-38999 I (LJT), MIL-DTL-38999 III (TV-CTV), VG96912 (SJT), RNJ and RNJLP, with the 4 x 60 Amps and the 4 x 100 Amps being HE308 qualified (bayonet and rackable versions). These connectors are ideal for use in defense and avionics, as well as harsh industrial environments where high power transmission is required. They can be used for I/O power for boxes, power connectors spread on the field (drums), and electrical power generators. The 38999-Power connector offers excellent durability, with a life cycle of up to 500 cycles. They can withstand temperatures ranging from -65 Cdeg to 175 Cdeg, and keying is achieved by different key/keyway locations. These connectors have different contact ratings, including 60A (4 x 60 Amps), 100A (4 x 100 Amps), 230A (-1 x 250 Amps), and 500A (-1 x 500 Amps), with crimp or PC tail terminations available.
