Series Five Connectors
The MIL-DTL-38999 series of connectors was born in the 1960’s and Amphenol has continued to innovate new features and capabilities. The new Series Five connector is the next evolutionary step in the impressive D38999 lineage. Combining all of the capabilities of the traditional 38999 style connector in a lighter, smaller, and more compact package to support the military and aerospace industry.
Series II Sockets
SV Microwave’s Series II D38999/2M SMPM and SMPS socket contacts are engineered for use in connector shells requiring Series II socket configurations. Available in Size 12 (SMPM) and 16 (SMPS) for .047" and .085" cable, these contacts feature a shorter body length than Series I, III, and IV socket contacts, due to the lower profile connector shells.
Shielded Edge Launch PCB Connectors
Engineered for environments sensitive to EMI and cross talk, SV Microwave’s new Shielded Multiport connectors deliver outstanding performance with industry-leading isolation and crosstalk suppression—achieving 70 dB min at 30 GHz. This exceptional electrical separation between ports ensures ultra-clean signal transmission, setting a new benchmark compared to traditional coax PCB multiports.
