Glenair has Launched a Smaller Version of its D38999 Connector Platform

Glenair's Series 806 Mil-Aero micro miniature circular connectors are now available through Powell Electronics. These connectors provide the same performance as MIL-DTL-38999 Series III, but in a smaller, lighter form, making them perfect for high-reliability aerospace, defense, and industrial automations.

Key Features:

  • Smaller Size, Same Performance: The Series 806 is designed to fit into tighter spaces while still catering to the standards of MIL-DTL-38999 Series III. It operates in places where space as well as weight are limited, like in airborne and rugged systems.
  • Strong and Secure Plan: The connectors are made to withstand vibration as well as handle a strong connection in harsh conditions. They have advantages such as insert retention, radial sealing, and grommet seals, to stay strong even when exposed to vibrations. They also include systems that prevent loosening under stress.
  • Compact but Powerful: Even with a smaller size, the Series 806 connectors support high contact density, handling multiple types of signals as well as power connections. They can accommodate various sizes of contacts, including signal, power, as well as fiber-optic options. They also offer high-temperature, hermetic, and filtered versions.
  • Lightweight and Efficient: These connectors use Nano shield termination bands for better shielding with less added weight, which is important for avionics and space-constrained systems. Other features like a top-hat insulator and O-ring seals improve alignment and performance.

In summary, the Series 806 combines MIL-DTL-38999 performance with innovative mechanical design and a smaller size, making it perfect for modern aerospace and defense systems where size, weight, and reliability are crucial.
