D38999/24KB35PN

The D38999/24KB35PN is an electrical connector that uses a bayonet fixing for the shell and a threaded fixing for the coupling nut. It is also known as a Mil-Spec connector, due to the fact that it adheres to US Military Standards (MIL-C-38999 series III). The D38999/24KB35PN is a size 8 circular connector and utilizes 35 contacts. It is capable of providing many advantages in the field, including sealed contacts and an environmental protective shell.

The application field of the D38999/24KB35PN is diverse, ranging from harsh industrial environments to space exploration. It is often found in environments where power or signal transmission need distinctiveness and reliability. This connector is favoured for its sturdy construction, which makes it well-suitable for use in extreme conditions such as underwater, high-temperature or cryogenic environments.

The D38999/24KB35PN is composed of four parts: the shell (which consists of a front and rear shell half with keying provisions); the contacts (for providing electrical connections); the inserts (which protect the contact, insulation from the environment); and the coupling nut (which enable secure connection between the connnectors). The shell and the coupling nut are both threaded for easy installation and maintenance.

The working principle of the D38999/24KB35PN relies on a bayonet coupling system and a jam nut which can be tightened with a spanner. The bayonet fixing ensures that the connector is securely held in place when connected. It also provides a fast, easy and secure connection/disconnection for the user. Meanwhile, the jam nut works to retain a secure connection by providing additional tension and friction. It also reduces the risk of vibration and shock to the connection.

The D38999/24KB35PN connector is able to provide high-contact density in a small form-factor due to its 35-contact design. It is also corrosion-resistant and has excellent electrical properties, such as high voltage holding capacity, low crosstalk, low contact resistance, and low-frequency return loss. This makes the connector particularly useful for applications such as satellite boards, and testing, communications and aerospace.

In conclusion, the D38999/24KB35PN is a rugged electrical connector that is ideal for extreme environments due to its reliable construction. It is capable of providing high-contact density and excellent electrical performance, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
