Description

In charts below you can find all the information required to order replacement contacts for all existing MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors. Next to each contact is appropriate tooling information for required crimper, positioner, insertion and extraction tweezers. Contacts are the conductive elements that establish the electrical connection between two halves of a connector in order to transmit signals and/or power. Contacts consist of male pins that mate into female sockets. Pin contacts are exposed and should be used on the “load” side of the circuit. Sockets are recessed into the insert so that no conductive part of the contact is exposed, keeping the operator and electrical system protected from harm or short circuits. Safety dictates that the socket contacts should be on the connector mounted on the live circuit, or power side.
