Douglas Electrical Components, a U.S. manufacturer of hermetic solutions for power and signal transmission, has launched a dedicated line for Series I and III (Box Mount and Jam Nut) hermetic MIL-DTL-38999 connectors

New Production Line for Hermetic MIL-DTL-38999 Connectors

This new development aims to provide quick lead times and enhanced customization flexibility to meet the diverse needs of users in the aerospace and defense domains. 

The new product line also allows for faster production and delivery, ensuring that users can meet their project timelines in 4-6 weeks.

Douglas Electrical Components specializes in converting standard MIL-DTL-38999 connectors into hermetically sealed assemblies.

The company offers standard hermetic MIL-DTL-38999 connectors, available in Series I and III configurations (Box Mount and Jam Nut Connector). These connectors are designed for signal and power applications. They offer design flexibility in pin counts, materials, mounting types, and feedthrough connection types.

Users can select from various series, shell types, finishes, over 70 insert arrangements, contact types, and keying. Douglas Electrical Components can incorporate a range of mechanical or electrical configurations using a proprietary process and ASTM E-595-93 rated epoxy. 

The company’s connectors are designed to be lightweight yet robust, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments. They undergo 100% hermeticity testing with NIST traceability.

Greg Montrose, Marketing Director at Douglas Electrical Components, commented; “Our new MIL-DTL-38999 connectors are suitable for applications demanding performance in vacuum and pressure conditions operating in harsh environments. The combination of features allows for a wider range of design possibilities while maintaining the high reliability our customers expect.”
