Wildcat 38999 Connectors
High Reliability and High Contact Density
Combine high reliability and high contact density in a familiar
MIL-DTL-38999 format with Wildcat 38999 connectors. With
higher contact density than mil-spec high-density inserts and
nearly double the contact density of standard inserts, Wildcat
38999 connectors oer extreme temperature, vibration, and
corrosion resistance, and durability of 500+ mating cycles in a
space-saving design.
The easy-grip coupling ring and triple-start thread make mating
and unmating fast and simple.
A variety of material and plating options means versatile choices
to match the demands of your application.
