What is mil c 38999 standard?
MIL-C-38999 is now superseded by MIL-DTL-38999. This is a standard for high performance circular connectors designed for cable-to-panel I/O applications in military, aerospace and other demanding situations. There are four connector series in the family:
- Series I: Bayonet coupling – Amphenol’s LJT series
- Series II: Low-Profile Bayonet coupling – Amphenol’s JT series
- Series III: Tri-Start ACME Thread – Amphenol’s TV-CTV series
- Series IV : Breech-Lock
What is mil-dtl-38999?
MIL-DTL-38999 is a standard for high performance circular connectors designed for cable-to-panel I/O applications in military, aerospace and other demanding situations. There are four connector series in the family:
- Series I: Bayonet coupling – Amphenol’s LJT series
- Series II: Low-Profile Bayonet coupling – Amphenol’s JT series

What is a d38999 connector?
A D38999 connector is an abbreviation of MIL-DTL-38999 series III connectors, as part numbering or marking defined by the standard always begins with D38999/…
MIL-DTL-38999 series III connectors (Amphenol TV / CTV series) are thread coupling connectors, with 100% scoop proof design. Metal and composite shell versions are available. EN3645 is the corresponding European standard for this series.
What is the difference between RJ11 and RJ45?
The main differences between RJ11 and RJ45 connectors lie in their design and usage:
- Shape and Contacts: RJ11 connectors are smaller and typically have 4 to 6 pins, while RJ45 connectors are larger with 8 pins. The difference in the number of contacts is due to their specific functions—RJ11 is designed for simpler applications, whereas RJ45 supports more complex connections.
- Usage: RJ11 is commonly used for traditional telephone lines and fixed telephony systems. In contrast, RJ45 is primarily used in communication networks, including Ethernet connections, and can also support telephony in more advanced systems.
Are Cat 6 and Cat 5 connectors the same?
The connectors for Cat 5 and Cat 6 cables are identical in shape, both using the RJ45 standard. However, the key difference lies in their performance capabilities. Cat 5 cables support speeds of 10-100 Mbps at a frequency of 100 MHz, while Cat 6 cables are designed to handle speeds up to 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps) at a frequency of 250 MHz.
What is d38999 in line connector?
A D38999 in line connector is a receptacle supplied with no flange for fixing on a panel. It means a cable to cable connexion.
Amphenol’s designation will always begin by TV01 or TVS01.
Is mil c the same as mil dtl?
MIL-C-38999 is now superseded by MIL-DTL-38999. This is a standard for high performance circular connectors designed for cable-to-panel I/O applications in military, aerospace and other demanding situations. There are four connector series in the family:
• Series I: Bayonet coupling – Amphenol’s LJT series
• Series II: Low-Profile Bayonet coupling – Amphenol’s JT series
• Series III: Tri-Start ACME Thread – Amphenol’s TV-CTV series
• Series IV : Breech-Lock
Do d38999 connectors come with contacts?
D38999 connectors can be supplied with or without contacts. For example :
• D38999/26A35PN will come with pin contacts
• D38999/26A35SN will come with socket contacts
• D38999/26A35AN will come without pin contacts
• D38999/26A35BN will come without socket contacts
Please note that a connector ordered without contacts will be marked with P or S code, as required by MIL-DTL-38999 standard.
How do i choose a circular connector?
There are many steps to choose a circular connector, we have tried to summarize the relevant ones:
1) How many ways it needs to have, and which current / voltage needs to pass through
2) In which environment it will be used : Temperature, sealing, vibrations, salt spray resistance…
3) What’s the mating style : Threaded, push-pull, bayonet, blind mate…
4) Which space is available with your devices
This will surely guide you to one or few connector’s series. For any further help, you can consult our help center or contact our technical support team (+ lien support).
What are the 3 types of connectors?
