<p>Yes, you can! We’ve been hard at work getting thousands of connectors on the shelf at our distributors Newark, Mouser, and Digi-Key.</p>

<p>Yes! Every currently-available Series Five connector has a CAD drawing and model available for download. Ask our <a href="https://support.amphenol-socapex.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new" target="_blank">Technical Support team</a>.</p>

<p>Right now, we’ve launched sizes 8, 10, 12, and 14 (analogous to sizes 9-15 of D38999 Series III) with all insert arrangements.</p>

<p>Yes! Our full test summary (tested fully to MIL-DTL-38999 requirements) is available on request.</p>

<p>Series Five connectors are larger than 2M801 connectors but smaller than 2M805 connectors – size in this case determined by the ratio of contact count to the largest coupling nut diameter. However, Series Five connectors meet every applicable electrical and environmental performance requirement of 38999 (unlike 2M, which is rated to lower temperature, vibration, and other requirements). A full comparison chart for performance will be made available on our web page soon, but in short Series Five is a denser circular connector than 2M that also performs better – a win/win!</p>

<p>Amphenol has consistently proven itself to be a supporter of open standards, having provided the IP necessary for the U.S. government and others to specify many connector series, including 2M. If there is sufficient demand for an open standard for Series Five, Amphenol will support its creation.</p>

<p>No, Amphenol’s Series Five product line is a custom interconnect series. However, wherever possible it uses mil-qualified components, for example, all Series Five connectors utilize M39029 contact part numbers.</p>
