Ground Blocks provide the lightest weight, highest density grounding solutions. Wired connections are environmentally-sealed, providing protection from moisture, spray, and debris. Unused connections are protected via Amphenol Pcd’s patented FODSeal Technology, which replaces the sealing plugs - reducing FOD, weight, and part count.
Ground Plane Connectors
MIL-DTL-38999 type connectors with metal inserts to maintain a common ground plane with the shell for all the shielded contacts contained in the connector. For High Speed Data Bus, LAN and Coax, Triax and Twinax Data Transmission. Applications for ground plane connectors include MIL-STD 1553B data bus as well as video, signal and multiplex transmission.
Harness & Hat Supports
Designed to secure and guidewire bundles throughout an aircraft, Harness and Hat Supports were designed for lean manufacturing and durability. Built-in a one-piece, lightweight design with multiple fixing points, the high-performance products are strong, durable and make wire bundle installation and maintenance easy. They are able to support large bundles and high-stress requirements.
HD38999 High Density
Features 30% more contact density than standard MIL-DTL-38999 inserts while utilizing the same connector dimensions and shell sizes. This connector design benefits users who need to increase the number of contacts in their application, allowing them to do so without increasing the size of their connector. Qualified to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III.
HDB3 - HSB3
High-density brush connector HDB3/HSB3.
HD-BNC Connector Series
The HD-BNC product series features the trusted, push and turn interface of a traditional BNC, providing tactile feedback and a positive lock for quick and guaranteed mating.
High Density D-Sub
Positronic offers a variety of standard and high-density D-subs, as well as accessories and ComboD-sub connectors. Highly reliable with precision-machined contacts, our connectors meet various industrial and military performance levels for applications from basic power supplies to advanced weapon systems and flight. Explore our design features including package size, contact, and mating variants.
High Power 38999
High Power 38999 incorporates RadSok, Temper-Grip, or standard high power contacts. Paired with the proven performance of the MIL-DTL-38999 connector series, High Power 38999 offers a variety of tooled arrangements specifically designed to carry high current (70 to 250 amps per contact, 240 to 1000 amps per connector).
High Power 5015
Features high-current RadSok or Temper Grip socket contacts for a current-carrying capacity increase of up to 40%. Utilizing two proven connector mating designs (Matrix 5015 and MGT-5015) and a host of new contact termination methods, the High Power Series offers custom connector performance in a standard catalog offering.
High Temperature Series Five Connectors
High Temperature Series Five connectors are the ideal solution for interconnect and electrical wire assemblies near engines, firewalls, and other high-heat sources. Built for applications with higher temperatures such as hyper-sonic weapon systems, small module nuclear reactors, space launch vehicles, and other advanced aircraft.
High Voltage 38999
An expansion of the MIL-DTL-38999 series to provide solutions for next-generation aircraft power requirements. Future power distribution architecture is moving toward higher voltages above what standard connectors are designed to accommodate. Amphenol HV38999 has been tested up to 1200 VAC / 1500 VDC* to remain partial discharge free @ 50,000 ft.
HVDC
HVDC is a low mating force, high mating cycle connector that achieves enhanced performance due to multiple points of contact vs. standard 2 or 4 tine contacts. Weight savings with a composite shell and hollow pin design threaded or lug termination. Temperature rating: 180°C. Current Rating: 365 Amps
JSFC15/JSFC16 Connectors
Fiber optic connectors approved for use in JSF/F-35 applications. Based on Amphenol Composite Tri-Start, Qualified to MIL-DTL-38999. Nickel plating (200°C) can withstand 2000 hours of salt spray exposure. 1500 couplings minimum. Recessed pins in this 100% scoop-proof connector minimize potential termini damage.
Junction Modules/Electronic Modules
Series I Terminal Junction Modules and Series II Socket Junction Modules are robust, reliable, and perform to M81714 electrical and mechanical standards. Series I uses standard M39029/1 pin contacts. Series II uses M39029/22 socket contacts. Both accommodate 12-26 AWG wires. Mounting rail and installation/termination accessories and customization available.
LDG P-Clamps
LDG P-Clamps use a softer rubber for clamp cushioning, reducing wear and tear on mission-critical cable harnesses – all without compromising the strength and performance of the clamp itself. Specifically designed for high-performance aerospace cables, such as the MT/MTL product lines, the LDG P-Clamps are easy to use, simple to maintain, and are available in 17 different sizes.
Lightening Hole Bushing
QuickSNAP Lightening Bushings are made to help guide wired bundles through the aircraft’s frame and stringers. QuickSNAP Lightening Bushings significantly reduce installation times and the amount of foreign object debris (FOD).
