They are also available in variety of connector forms such as S-video, D-subminiature, and XGA miniature types.

Application Fields

The D38999/24ZF32PN can be used in a wide range of applications, including aerospace and defense, telecommunications, and industrial automation. They are ideal for military and other harsh environments. In addition, they are designed for high-performance applications where environmental resistance and electrical integrity are required. In the aerospace and defense field, the D38999/24ZF32PN is commonly used in stand-alone systems, such as tactical electronics, as well as in larger systems, such as commercial aircraft and military vehicles. In the industrial automation sector, they can be used for managing automation processes, such as in robotics systems and automated factories. In the telecommunications sector, these connectors can be used for telephone systems, telecommunications switches, and antenna systems.

Working Principle

The D38999/24ZF32PN features a shear-lock connection, which allows for reliable mating and contact retention in extreme environments. The shear-lock system involves two parts: the mating portions and the shear screws. The mating portions are inserted into the mating sides of the housing and aligned with the corresponding connectors. The shear screws are then inserted to hold the mating portions firmly in place. The shear screws provide the necessary electrical and mechanical connection and assure a secure connection within a wide electrical tolerances.

The D38999/24ZF32PN also features a 360° sealed contact interface to prevent the ingress of environmental contaminants. This includes an o-ring which seals the outer circumference of the contact and provides a double-seal for improved water, dust, and rain resistance. Additionally, the outer shell is constructed from lightweight aluminum with external grommets that give strain relief. This design also makes the connectors resistant to shock and vibration.

Conclusion

The D38999/24ZF32PN is an advanced interconnect connector system designed for higher-density applications that require environmentally-sealed protection. It features a shear-lock connection system and a 360° sealed contact interface to ensure the highest levels of shock and vibration performance. The connectors are suitable for a wide range of applications, including aerospace and defense, telecommunications, and industrial automation.
