Scope.
This handbook provides history, background, supersession, guidance, and information on electrical contacts and fiber terminus allowed by MIL-DTL-38999 (Series I thru IV). In most cases, there are multiple electrical contacts (all conforming to AS39029) which may be used in a given cavity (identified by size - 23, 22D, 22M, 22, 20, 16, 12, 10, and 8). Connector configurations with contacts outside the range 23 - 8 and outside of MIL-DTL-38999 specifications are non-standard. MIL-STD-1560 defines the inserts and contact arrangements for all MIL-DTL-38999 connectors. Generally, MIL-DTL-38999 (vs. MIL-STD-1560) is used throughout this handbook. Contact information is or has been applicable to MIL-DTL-38999 and SAE-AS29600.
