Amphenol is a world leader in the design, manufacture and supply of high-performance interconnect systems for harsh environment defense applications including vibration, pressure, humidity, nuclear radiation and severe temperature changes. We have unparalleled product breadth ranging from military specification connectors, customized high-speed board level interconnects, flexible to rigid printed circuit boards, backplane systems and integrated assemblies. Our solutions span most defense end markets including avionics, communications, engines, ground vehicles and tanks, homeland security, naval, ordnance and missile systems, radar systems, rotorcraft, satellite and space programs and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
Piezo Technologies produces advanced piezoelectric ceramics for use in ultrasonic transducers. Our wide range of high quality piezoelectric ceramic materials includes modified Lead Zirconate Titanate, both hard PZT and soft PZT, including Navy Type PZT materials (Navy I PZT-4, Navy II PZT-5A, Navy III PZT-8, Navy V PZT-5J, and Navy VI PZT-5H).
Piezo Technologies customers include many prime defense contractors. We offer a comprehensive suite of services, from design and development to build-to-print contract manufacturing of ultrasonic transducers, sensors, and sub-assemblies. We absorb development work and deliver a plug-and-play acoustic component so their engineers can focus on system-level performance.
D38999 Connectors with Coaxial, Concentric Twinax, and Triax Contacts
MIL-DTL-38999 connectors are ideally suited for shielded contacts for high-performance, high-speed interconnection applications. Insert arrangements can incorporate: coax (sizes 8, 12, and 16); twinax (sizes 8 and 12); and triax contacts (sizes 8, 10, and 12).
Amphenol SV Microwave offers high-frequency BMA and SMPM D38999 cabled RF contacts (size 8, 12 & 16) to SMA male connectors on Ø.085 and Ø.141 cable types that populate standard D38999 circular connectors. These fixed-length cable assemblies allow you to expand the use of the standard D38999 circular connector to incorporate microwave transmission lines.
SV Microwave has released a line of D38999 pin and socket contacts that are aligned to the latest specification set forth by SOSA™. These coaxial contacts fit both standard and series III housing and are offered in BMB size 8 and SMPM size 12. These contacts are ideal in an embedded system that transitions from the chassis to an out-of-the-box application.
The Deep Space 38999 Connector series is designed for extreme cold environments. They are built to retain a grommet-to-wire and contact-to-contact seal in temperatures beyond -85 °F (-65 °C), with inserts that have been cycle tested between -148 °F (-100 °C) to 392 °F (200 °C)
Used to facilitate the launching of controlled impedance signals to printed circuit boards. Two strategically spaced inner contacts form two 100 or 150 Ohm matched impedance differential pairs. Requires modification of MIL-DTL-38999 connector to accommodate keyed contacts. Available in size 8 crimp termination style. Also available in size 8 with PC tails.
Offers several advantages for high data transfer rates, low power consumption and excellent EMI compatibility. Amphenol Twinax contacts terminate to a variety of cables and are also available with PCB tails.
