The MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Tri-Start connectors are ideal for PCB applications, as the contacts come pre-assembled, greatly simplifying wire-to-board wiring. Optional alignment discs ensure a trouble-free assembly process. Amphenol offers several versions of the MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Tri-Start connectors: metal "TV" versions (aluminum, stainless steel, or marine bronze) and composite "CTV" versions, which provide a lightweight, corrosion-resistant connector with the same high-performance characteristics as their metal counterparts.
Various housing options are also available, including rivet nut, double flange, and reduced flange options. Pre-tinned and double pre-tinned contact options enhance reliability. Last but not least, vacuum degassing for space applications (removal of any harmful materials according to rigorous NASA or military specifications) is also offered through Powell.
