38999 Series I, II, III

The J is called “JAN brand” in the MIL-DTL-38999 standard.

This is a proof that our connectors are QPL approved by American authorities.

Corresponding MIL-DTL-38999 rev M standard paragraph:

3.52.2 JAN and J marking. The United States Government has adopted and is exercising legitimate control over the certification marks "JAN" and "J", respectively, to indicate that items so marked or identified are manufactured to, and meet all the requirements of specifications. Accordingly, items acquired to, and meeting all of the criteria specified herein and in applicable specifications, shall bear the certification mark "JAN" except that items too small to bear the certification mark "JAN" shall bear the letter "J". The "JAN" or "J" shall be placed immediately before the part number except that if such location would place a hardship on the manufacturer in connection with such marking, the "JAN" or "J" may be located on the first line above or below the part number. Items furnished under contracts or orders which either permit or require deviation from the conditions or requirements specified herein or in applicable specifications shall not bear "JAN" or "J". In the event an item fails to meet the requirements of this specification and the applicable specification sheets or associated detail specifications, the manufacturer shall remove completely the military part number and the "JAN" or the "J" from the sample tested and also from all items represented by the sample. The "JAN" or "J" certification mark shall not be used on products acquired to contractor drawings or specification. The United States Government has obtained Certificate of Registration Number 504,860 for the certification mark "JAN" and Registration Number 1,586,261 for the certification mark “J”.

Note: The “JAN” or “J” is not part of the PIN but indicates a certification.

• Crimp contacts:
  These are the most common contacts used with this type of connectors, and described in MIL-DTL-38999 and EN3645 standard for environmental connectors.
  When crimp contacts are delivered with connectors, they are not mounted into connector insert. 
   
• Crimp contacts:
  We do not give any shelf life for our connectors since it depends on the mating cycles. For instance, for a standard TV connector, the mating cycle is 500. For a composite connector « CTV » fitted with « H » and « J » contact types, it’s 1500 cycles.
  When crimp contacts are delivered with connectors, they are not mounted into connector insert. 
   
• Solder contacts: hermetic connectors only are equipped with solder contacts (solder cup or eyelet contacts).
  Additionally Amphenol has developed enhanced sealing connectors which can be equipped with solder cup contacts (only available in proprietary Amphenol designation).
  Solder contacts are always supplied already mounted into connector insert.
   
• PC tail contacts: Amphenol has extended contact type range, proposing also PC tail contacts for PC board applications. PC tail contacts are available in different tail length and tail plating. Connector delivered with this type of contacts are only available in Amphenol proprietary part numbers, and PC tail contacts are already mounted into connector insert.

EN3645 and D38999 (38999 series III) connectors have different assembly processes.
The EN3645 qualified connectors have also harder requirements in terms of lightning strikes (15kA instead of 10kA) and fluids resistances.
The TV Range is Amphenol Socapex proprietary connector range, based on D38999 Series III connectors.
Our proprietary connectors enable us to propose additional platings and materials such as Marine Bronze, different designs (reduced flange, integrated backshells) and contacts layouts.
In accordance with their respective standards, D38999 and EN3645 connectors ordered with contacts are delivered with more contacts, sealing plugs and insertion/removal tools.
TV connectors are delivered with the exact amount of contacts.
