The Original MIL-SPEC Connectors for Modern Harsh Environments

Amphenol was one of the initial developers of MIL-DTL-38999 when the specification was developed in the 1970s. The Scintilla division of the Bendix Corporation, later incorporated into Amphenol Aerospace, was a key player in the development of MIL-C-38999, which evolved into MIL-DTL-38999 Series I. Bendix also developed the low-profile Bendix JT connectors that became standardized as MIL-DTL-38999 Series II and was instrumental in the development of MIL-DTL-38999 Series III.

The breakthroughs in miniaturization, high-density contact arrangements, and environmental sealing achieved through these connectors became industry-standard features in interconnect technology that are used throughout high-performance military and aerospace applications to this day.

With a major role in the development of modern interconnect systems, Amphenol circular MIL-SPEC connectors have been trusted to deliver harsh environment connectivity solutions for mission-critical systems for decades.
