Composite 38999 connectors save weight and maintain performance

ACT series circular connectors are among the most versatile and popular circular mil spec input/output connectors in the world. They are available in three shell styles, two plating options, six shell clockings, over 50 different insert arrangements supporting size 23, 22D, 20, 16, 12, 10, and 8 contacts for power and signal, as well as coax and twinax contacts.

Originally designed as military and aerospace components, ACT series connectors are now also used in many other hi-rel applications where extreme reliability is paramount. They feature a scoop-proof design for fast, easy, secure mating, and a triple-lead, threaded self-locking coupling for excellent vibration resistance. Devices are environmentally sealed and feature grounding fingers and a trapezoidal thread which provides excellent shell-to-shell continuity, to help support high EMC performance.

Alec Sluce, Aerco's Connector Product Manager comments: "These lightweight, rugged, environmentally sealed connectors survive some of the harshest environments of commercial and military aerospace, ground defence, and marine applications. TE's DEUTSCH composite connectors have led the field in composite connectors for many years, and this latest generation ACT series reinforces their reputation for high quality, extreme reliability and ease-of-use."
