ITT expands Mil-DTL-38999 hermetic connector range

An ITT Interconnect Solutions product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Aug 4, 2009

ITT Interconnect Solutions has designed a hermetically sealed connector with a lightweight aluminium shell for low-pressure water immersion or fording applications.

The KJaya connector, which meets the requirements of MIL-STD-810 Method 512.5 and IP67, is designed to extend ITT's Mil-DTL-38999 hermetic connector range, which is intended for pressure differentials in excess of 750psi and operating temperatures of up to 200C.

The Kjaya aluminium shell connector provides hermetic sealing of 0.01 micron cubic feet per hour for pressure differentials of 15 psi

However, many water immersion applications only require one atmosphere pressure differential (15psi) or less and operate at temperatures below 150C.

The KJaya lightweight aluminium shell connector provides hermetic sealing of 0.01 micron cubic feet per hour for pressure differentials of 15psi and is 50 per cent lighter overall than standard hermetic connectors in the rest of ITT's Mil-DTL-38999 range.

The connector features a special sealant-based hermetic design and is water immersion sealed to 10cm3 to -7cm3 per second.

The operating temperature range is -55C to +150C.

It is offered in wall and jam nut mounting receptacles in sizes nine through 25 and its lightweight aluminium shell has copper-alloy contacts for reduced electrical resistance.

Devices are available in MIL-DTL-38999 standard insert patterns with either PC tail or poke-home crimp piggyback terminations.

The crimp version uses standard M39029/57 short socket contacts for quick cable termination, offering customers the benefits of standardisation and reduced inventory holding, while drop-in PC tail versions allow fast termination to the printed circuit board (PCB) or flex circuitry.

Other applications include integrated avionics, electronic warfare systems, radar and navigation.
