Single Pole High Power Connector
DATA SHEET
Amphenol Ltd combines the benefi ts of fi eld proven Mil-DTL-38999
Series III circular connectors with hyperbolic contacts that extend
the boundaries of high power connector technology. Designed to
meet the latest military and industrial specifi cations, Rhino 38999
connectors also meet stringent safety requirements.
As one of the foremost manufacturers of both connectors and interconnect systems
specifi cally for applications within military , aerospace and industrial markets, Amphenol has
recognised a distinct trend towards increased power and voltage requirements within such
applications as military and electric drive vehicles, aircraft and intelligence bases stations.
The use of RADSOK contacts creates an electrical interface that exceeds typical
interconnect requirements via a hyperbolic socket contact construction which distributes
normal forces over a high percentage of the mating surface to ensure a smooth and even
engagement force with exceptionally high performance under vibration. The large surface
area of the socket contact also results in a very low contact resistance enabling much
higher current ratings compared to other power contact designs.
High reliability applications including vehicular, aerospace, industrial, automation, mining,
offshore and other harsh environments can all be addressed using the Rhino 38999 Series.
