MIL-DTL-38999
Features and Application
Series II

Features and Application
MIL-DTL-38999 Series II connectors feature a bayonet
coupling mechanism with lower profile design and
rear-removable crimp contact retention system.
These connectors were designed for military and commercial
applications where the prime requirements are lower profile
and lighter weight.
Reduction of both size and weight were achieved through
the use of thinner shell walls and length restrictions. These
design restrictions reduced the RFI attenuation characteristics
and the “scoop protection, while yielding an excellent gen-
eral purpose, lightweight connector. Compared to Series I,
Series II connectors achieve up to 20% reduction in mated
pair length, up to 39% reduction in outside diameter and
up to 40% reduction in weight (128 pin mated pair).
This family of connectors is offered in six receptacle-mounting
styles. They include square flange receptacles, for both front
and rear panel (wall) mounting; square flange receptacles,
for both front and rear panel (box) mounting; square flange
receptacle with extended grommet, for front of panel (box)
mounting; and jam nut receptacles which incorporate
“O ring seals, designed for rear panel “D hole mounting.
Plugs are available in two designs, with and without RFI
grounding.
Fifty-two insert arrangement per MIL-STD-1560 are tooled
and qualified to MIL-DTL-38999 Series II, utilizing 3 to 128
M39029 contacts. Contacts come in sizes 22D, 22M, 22, 20,
16 and 12, terminating wire sizes from 28 to 12 gauge.
These connectors are available in wide range of shell materials
and finishes. Aluminum shells are offered in electroless
nickel, bright cadmium, anodized, and olive drab cadmium.
Other finishes such as zinc nickel are available upon request
to commercial callouts only. In addition, we offer passivated
stainless steel 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.
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 same insert
arrangement.

Corrosion Resistance
Finishes A, B and C withstand 500-hour salt spray.
Finish F withstands 48-hour salt spray.
Durability
Mated connectors withstand a minimum of 250 mating
cycles for RFI plug (MS27484) and 500 cycles for MS27473
and MS27500 plugs.
Environmental Seal
Wired, mated connectors with specified accessories
attached, shall meet the altitude-immersion test specified by
MIL-DTL-38999.
Fluid Resistance
Connectors resist specified immersions in MIL-PRF-7808,
MIL-PRF-23699, MIL-PRF-5606, M2-V Chevron oil, Coolanol
25, MIL-DTL-83133 (JP-8), MIL-DTL-5624 (JP-4, JP-5),
SAE-AMS1424 Type I, and other solvents and cleaning agents.
Voltage Rating
Shell-to-Shell Conductivity
Maximum potential drop shall not exceed:
With RFI spring fingers, finish F = 1.0 millivolt, while
finishes A and B = 2.5 millivolts.
Without spring fingers = 200 millivolts.
Finish C = nonconductive.
Shielding Effectiveness
RFI and EMI attenuation at the specified frequencies meet
the requirements of MIL-DTL-38999.
RFI shielding effectiveness of mated connectors with
RFI backshells is measured in a triaxial radio frequency
leakage fixture.
EMI shielding effectiveness is measured at the interface
of mated connectors and tested by the mode-stirred
technique specified 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 magnitude with duration of three
milliseconds applied in three axes per MIL-STD-1344,
method 2004.
Vibration
Mated connectors withstand the following vibration levels:
Random vibration per MIL-STD-1344, method 205 test
condition VI, Letter “J”.

Note: The establishment of electrical safety factors is left
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

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 first, 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
receptacle. Slide the hardware over the wire bundle in
the proper order for reassembly after 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 film. 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
firmly.
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
After all the cavities have been filled, 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 firmly in the tool and pull the wired contact and
tool straight out of the rear of the insulator.
