The Amphenol Socapex RNJ HE308 Rack & Panel connector is designed for use in harsh environments where reliable and robust connectivity is essential. These connectors are lightweight and derived from the HE308/38999 series I, making them an ideal choice for applications where space and weight are at a premium. They are 100% scoop-proof, preventing bent pins and short circuits during mating, and offer realignment capability on three axes for blind mate applications. The RNJ HE308 connectors offer excellent EMI shielding, with shells that are grounded before contact mating. They also provide high moisture resistance, thanks to the interfacial seal, main joint souffler, and rear gasket on the plug that are designed to seal out moisture between connector halves. The connectors are also highly corrosion-resistant, with options for olive drab cadmium over nickel plating on aluminum shells that can withstand 500 hours of salt spray exposure or electroless nickel. A free cadmium version is also available. The RNJ HE308 connectors are available in eight shell sizes from 11 to 25 and can accommodate between 1 and 128 contacts in accordance with Mil-C-39029 standards. They are suitable for use with crimp contacts sizes 22D, 20, 16, 12, 8, 4, and 00, PCB contacts sizes 22D and 20, and wire-wrap contacts sizes 22D and 20. They also accept optical termini (POM series) in accordance with Mil-T-29504 standards. These connectors are an excellent choice for use in battlefield communication, ground vehicles, military avionics, and advanced industrial applications.
What are the benefits of blind mate rack & panel connectors RNJ?
The RNJ connectors ensures floatability and realignment while offering blind mate possibilities. The connector's design helps the good mating while guiding the plug into the receptacle and adjusting if needed, following its realignment tolerances on 3 axis : 1mm on axial axis; 6° on angular axis and 0,5mm on longitudinal.

Are RNJ connectors derived from MIL-DTL-38999 standard?
Rack & panel blind mate RNJ connector is derived from the D38999 series I and is HE308 qualified. Some components used in RNJ are similar to the ones used in LJT – D38999 series I, such as the contacts and the inserts. RNJ connectors accept all 38999 series I and series III inserts. The RNJ Jam nut receptacle is fully compatible with a 38999 series I or LJT 06 plug.
