MIL-DTL-38999 Series III
The Tri-Start Connector is the high performance choice
in the D38999 Family.
Originally designed in order to increase the performance lev-
els of MIL-DTL-38999 Series I and II, the Series III was cre-
ated to meet high performance connector criteria.
Dynamic features for performance and reliability that were
needed for military, aerospace and ground vehicle applica-
tions were designed into the Series III that include:
• Rapid coupling via a triple-start thread
• Shell-to-shell or metal-to-metal bottoming
• Improved EMI shielding
The Tri-Start Family of connectors has grown and expanded
since its original addition to the 38999 series in order to meet
ever-evolving interconnection product needs. Today, the Tri-
Start family has styles and options that cover a very wide
range to meet not only the highest performance needs of
space applications, but also general duty connector needs.
The Tri-Start Connector Series is second to none in
terms of versatility and customer options.
The broad porfolio includes Tri-Starts with:
• Aluminum and nickel plated stainless steel shells
• Class K Firewalls
• Composite shells
• Clutch-Lok® high vibration design
• Fiber Optics
• Fail-Safe Lanyard Release connectors
• Variety of contact options: shielded, coax, matched imped-
ance coax, triax, twinax, quadrax, thermocouple, PCB tail and
wire wrap
• Ground plane versions and Press-fit® with compliant pins
• ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection
• Filter/Transient protection
• Hermetic versions
• Long reach receptacle styles
• Numerous shell geometries,
finishes and accessories

Amphenol® Tri-Start
shell styles and key
design features
Designed for Performance
Numerous advantages in performance capability are designed
into the Amphenol Tri-Start Connector. A positive metal to metal
coupling design, grounding fingers, and electroless nickel plat-
ing provide superior EMI shielding capability of 65 dB minimum
at 10 GHz.
Acme threads provide coupling durability. Thicker wall sections
and a greater coupling surface area improve strength and shock
resistance. Blunting of the thread on both the coupling nut and
receptacle eliminates cross coupling. The connector quickly
mates and self locks in a 360° turn of the coupling nut.
Elongated mounting holes permit the Tri-Start Connector to
intermount with various existing MIL-spec box or wall mount re-
ceptacles, giving it a design replacement advantage.
Shells of stainless steel, or cadmium over nickel plating prevent
severe corrosion. Resistance is tested through exposure to a
500 hour salt spray. Composite versions provide protection from
salt spray exposure for 2000 hours. Other finish options are avail-
able; see how to order Tri-Start metal and Tri-Start Composite.
Recessed pins minimize potential contact damage in this 100%
scoop-proof connector. In a blind mating application, mating shells
cannot “scoop” the pins and cause a shorting or bending of con-
tacts.
The design of the Amphenol Tri-Start interfacial seal meets the
MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements for electrolytic erosion
resistance.
A rigid dielectric insert with excellent electrical characteristics
provides durable protection to the contacts. The socket contacts
are probe proof, and all contacts are rear removable. They are
plated in the standard 50 micro inches minimum gold, with 100
micro inches as an option and are available in standard Tri-Start
insert arrangements and special Pyle® insert arrangements in
sizes 10 power, 12, 16, 20 and 22D contacts. Special insert pat-
terns are also available with larger contacts in sizes 4 and 0.

Amphenol® Tri-Start connectors provide
EMI/EMP shielding capability which exceeds
MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements.
The TV and CTV Series III connector with standard
solid metal to metal coupling, EMI grounding fingers
and conductive finishes has proven to be the ultimate
in EMI/EMP shielding effectiveness. The charts il-
lustrate shielding effectiveness data which is typical
of Tri-Start connectors tested with the nickel finish
(Class F-metal, Class M-composite) over a wide fre-
quency range.
The vibration capability of the Tri-Start Series is
shown in the chart below. This illustrates the most
severe vibration envelope of any qualified connec-
tor available today.
These capabilities along with a 200°C temperature
rating and superior moisture sealing protection pro-
vide the user with a connector that can withstand
the most rigorous application.

CLUTCH-LOK® straight plug for high vibration
and harsh environment applications
The latest in MIL-DTL-38999, Series III Connector Technology is the CLUTCH-LOK. Designed
for high vibration and harsh environments such as aircraft gas turbine engines, it is also an
ideal choice for demanding applications such as aircraft, space and military ground vehicles.
The unique clutch design of the Amphenol CLUTCH-LOK means that you don’t have to
compromise the need for quick, smooth mating of plugs and receptacles in order to get
increased uncoupling torque.
The CLUTCH-LOK has proven to not only remain mated and pass all the Series III specifica-
tion requirements - it also has proven to actually tighten itself under vibration. This is a
powerful advantage over the traditionally high vibration application connectors. The CLUTCH-
LOK is also a tremendous advantage in inaccessible, hard to reach areas where mating
torque is difficult to apply and complete coupling is not verifiable by inspection.
CLUTCH-LOK features and benefits:
• High degree of differential torque
• Infinite free coupling and positive metal-to-metal bottoming with each mating
• No settling back to the next ratchet tooth
• Available with stainless steel shells and Class K firewall inserts
• All the advantages of MIL-DTL-38999 Series III including EMI/RFI shielding, electrolytic erosion
resistance and contact protection with recessed pins
• Enhanced connector performance at affordable prices
• Completely intermateable with all existing MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors
• Fully QPL’d

TV Breakaway Fail Safe Connectors
quick-disconnect with an axial pull of lanyard
Amphenol Tri-Start Breakaway Fail Safe Con-
nectors provide unequalled performance in
environments requiring instant disengage-
ment.
Designed to provide quick disconnect of a
connector plug and receptacle with an axial
pull on the lanyard, the “Breakaway” Fail Safe
connector family offers a wide range of
electrical and mechanical features:
• Instant decoupling and damage free
separation
• Completely intermateable with standard
receptacles (D38999/20 and /24)
• Inventory support commonality through the
use of standard insert arrangements and
contacts
Breakaway un-mating is initiated by applying a
pull force to the lanyard which causes the oper-
ating sleeve on the plug to move away from the
receptacle. Coupling segments on the plug then move
away from the mating receptacle while expanding, thus releasing the receptacle.
After completion of the un-mating sequence, spring compression returns the
sleeve and segments to their original positions. Un-mating of the plug may also
be accomplished by normal rotation of the coupling ring without affecting the
breakaway capability.
The Tri-Start Breakaway Fail Safe connector features which provide EMI/EMP
shielding in excess of MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements:
• Solid metal-to-metal coupling
• EMI grounding fingers
• Conductive finishes
Amphenol Breakaway Fail Safe connectors are qualified to MIL-DTL-38999/
29, /30 and /31 (for MIL-STD-1760 Stores Management applications). In fact,
Amphenol offers more qualified Breakaway shell size and insert combina-
tions than any other QPL supplier.
In addition to standard Breakaway connectors, Amphenol also manufactures
custom breakaway connectors including those with:
• Highly durable non-metallic operating sleeves in a variety of lengths and
diameters
• Increased pull-force capability
• Low-profile designs
• Custom lanyard lengths and backshells
• Low force separation capabilities
• Low insertion/separation force contacts
• Non-cadmium finishes
Whether you need a standard Breakaway, one of our custom Breakaways or, a
unique Breakaway design, please contact your local Amphenol representative.
Contact Amphenol Aerospace for more information on breakaway, quick-
disconnect connectors. Other Amphenol cylindrical families (MIL-DTL-38999
Series I & II, MIL-C-26482, MIL-C-83723) also offer breakaway quick-disconnect
connectors.
Breakaway with Coax Contacts
Special configuration Fail Safe used on
space telescope application. Lanyard is
replaced by a swivel ring for remote disconnect
and “wing arms” have been added for manual
actuation accessibility by gloved astronauts.
Amphenol offers a variety of lanyard plug styles including MIL-STD-1760
types 1, 2 and 6 for Stores Management applications.

universal “header assembly” for flex print or
PC board mounting
Mounts to all MIL-DTL-38999 and
MIL-C-26482 Connectors
The use of connectors with printed circuit ter-
mination is rapidly gaining popularity due to
the rise of high volume, vapor phase or wave
solder manufacturing processes. Termination
of this style of connector to flex print or a
printed circuit board represents a major cost
in the manufacturing process for users. When
adding flex or printed circuit board assem-
blies to an expensive filter or filter/transient
protection connector, the total cost of a failed
solder joint, a bent pin, or an unanticipated electrical failure becomes prohibitive.
The universal header assembly from Amphenol will provide for easy separation
of the connector from the board on these occasions.
Header Assemblies Provide Cost Savings
Incorporation of the header assembly provides the user with time and cost saving
potentials. These header assemblies can be vapor phase or wave soldered to
flex or printed circuit boards prior to the receipt of the EMI/EMP connector.
Headers can be installed to standard connectors, allowing for electrical testing
that would adversely affect the sensitive diodes, MOV’s or capacitors in the
EMI/EMP connectors. Expensive connector assemblies can be easily removed
from and reattached to the header assembly as the manufacturing process
dictates.
Mounting Applications
Shell modifications are recommended, but are not necessary. The header as-
sembly can be attached to connectors with standard flange placement or di-
rectly to the circuit board. The ideal application would involve either a single
flange moved all the way to the rear of the connector or a double flange. Cinch
nuts can be installed in either flange to allow easier mounting to the panel or the
header assembly. The forward flange would mount the connector to the panel;
the rear flange would be used to mount the header assembly. Various types of
captivated or loose attaching screws can be utilized for unique applications.
Amphenol universal headers are slotted to allow mounting to all series of MIL-
DTL-38999 or MIL-C-26482 connectors without special alterations. They are of
similar dimension as the flange of the mounting connector and would be ap-
proximately .185 inches (4.70 mm) thick.
Incorporates a Shorter Pin/Socket Contact
The heart of the header assembly is a short pin/socket contact. The tail of the
contact would accommodate standard through-hole diameters and thickness of
the flex or printed circuit board materials. The socket is imbedded in the molded
material, making electrical engagement with the printed circuit tail of the con-
nector.
Cylindrical Configuration
• 3 PCB stickout dimensions are available.
• Size 22 contacts use .175 thick headers
• Size 16 to 20 contacts use .195 thick
headers
• Consult Amphenol, Sidney NY for additional
configurations.
• Headers for cylindrical connectors accom-
modate up to 128 pins. Consult Amphenol
catalogs for mating connector contact
layouts (12-092 and 12-090 for MIL-DTL-
38999 and 12-070 for MIL-C-26482)
Mounting to Rectangular ARINC Con-
nectors
• Headers for ARINC connector arrangements
accommodate up to 150 pins
• Consult Amphenol, Sidney, NY for ARINC
configurations and detailed dimensions.
Materials
• Body is molded from Torlon or PPS
(Polyphenylene Sulfide)
• Electrical engagement areas of the header
contact are plated with .00003 inches
minimum of gold over .00005 inches
minimum of nickel.
See drawing of standard header on next page.
Headers provide easy
separation of the
connector from the PC
board.

FIBER OPTIC
Amphenol multi-channel fiber optic connectors offer a precision optic
interconnect system within the high performance MIL-DTL-38999
Series III connector. The metal-to-metal feature of the Tri-Start
connector provides protection from damage in severe environmental
and physical conditions. Optical performance is optimized utilizing the
ceramic alignment features
employed by the termini. Insertion
losses are typically .8dB and can
range from .5 to 1.5 dB, depending
on test conditions.
Ask for publication 12-352 for
complete information on Fiber
Optic Connectors.
TRANSIENT PROTECTION
EMI/EMP protection devices can
be integrated into the MIL-DTL-
38999 Series III connector to
provide a cost effective alternative to discrete devices mounted inside
the box. These unique, high performance designs provide weight and
space savings necessary for modern electronic systems.
Ask for publication 12-120 for complete information on Amphenol
Filter/Transient Protection Connectors.
FLEX TERMINATION ASSEMBLIES FOR
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD APPLICATIONS
Amphenol provides flex termination assemblies for printed circuit
board attachment through Amphenol ACT, Advanced Circuit Techno-
logy. Flex circuits are available for MIL-DLT-38999 connectors in flat or
sculptured styles. Sculptured® Flexible Circuits with built-in termina-
tions eliminate the failures associated with crimped or solder-on
contacts, and they are designed to geometrically fit the tight space
requirements within a unit. They
plug into a printed circuit board and
create a self-locking terminal pad
which eliminates the need for an
additional interconnect to the PCB.

Amphenol MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors are the most
commonly used connectors for incorporation of shielded contacts
along with traditional crimp contacts and also with contacts for data
bus, LAN and coax/triax/twinax transmission lines with conductive
inserts that ground the outer conductor of the coax, triax, twinax
contact to the shell. These connectors are sold “less contacts”. They
will accommodate size 8 coax, triax or twinax contacts or size 12 and
16 coax contacts.
The insert availability chart on pages 6 and 7 indicates the patterns
that are available in a ground plane version, (see those designated
with a star symbol), and consult how to order pages for ordering
procedures.
CONNECTORS WITH SHIELDED COAX CONTACTS
For shielded wire applications, coaxial contacts can be incorporated
into MIL-DTL-38999 connectors. Designed-in crimp or solder types
are available to fit various RG and special cables. High performance
coaxial contacts eliminate discontinuities or
impedance variations due to movement of
parts under axial load.
Concentric Twinax Contacts
Qualified to M39029/90 and /91
CONNECTORS WITH CONCENTRIC
TWINAX CONTACTS
The size 8 concentric twinax contact was
developed for use in MIL-STD-1553 Airborne
multiplex data bus applications which require
high performance interconnect characteristics
in multi-pin connectors. Ideal for this applica-
tion need is the high performance Tri-Start
connector with its fully scoop-proof feature of
recessed pins. The concentric twinax contact is
crimp terminable to twisted-shielded cable.
SHIELDED TRIAX CONTACTS
Triax contacts have three conductors and are
offered in sizes 8, 10 and 12. They provide
additional shielding when terminated to triax
cable having solid or stranded center conduc-
tors. Each of the three conductors of the triax
contact is separated by dielectric insulation to
isolate ground planes and to improve shielding
effectiveness.
High speed data transmission quadrax
contacts are now available for use in MIL-DTL-
38999 connectors.
PRESS FIT CONNECTORS
Tri-Start connectors are also designed for the
application of solderless mounting to printed
circuit boards. The Press Fit connector perfor-
mances are compatible with Series III

SIZE 8 HIGH SPEED QUADRAX AND DIFFERENTIAL TWINAX
CONTACTS FOR USE IN MIL-DTL-38999 CONNECTORS
Quadrax Contacts consist of an outer contact with four strategically
spaced inner contacts forming two 100 or 150 Ohm matched impedance
differential pairs.
Differential Twinax Contacts consist of an outer contact with two inner
contacts spaced to form one 100 or 150 Ohm matched impedance
differential pair.
Both contacts can be used in connectors for Ethernet 100 Base-T-100
Ohm, Fibre-Channel-150 Ohm and IEEE 1394B FireWire-110 Ohm
applications.

OTHER SPECIALS WITHIN THE
TRI-START FAMILY OF CONNECTORS:
•Deep Reach Shells – for increased panel
thicknesses.
•Stand-off Flange Shells – for attachment to
printed circuit boards
•Connectors with Integral Strain Reliefs –
cost savings through integration of strain relef
to the shell.
• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection –
Amphenol has developed a design feature for
the Tri-Start connector which will protect
sensitive components from Electrostatic
Discharge without diodes, varistors, gas
tubes, or “experimental” semiconductive
materials. These connectors utilize the
Faraday Cage principal to shunt electrostatic
discharge events to the conductive enclosure
on which the connector is mounted, thus
never allowing the high voltage, high current
discharge event to reside on any contacts.
The ESD protected connectors have the same
physical envelope as their standard counter-
parts, and do not require special mounting or
terminating techniques. All of the contacts
remain fully functional, and electrical charac-
teristics such as capacitance are not effected.
For more information on ESD protected
connectors, ask for Product Data Sheet 171.
Also publication L-2075, “ESD Attenuation
Test Procedure for Connectors with Faraday
Cage Protective Structures” is available as a
reference document.
