scope:

This specification covers two series of miniature, high density, quick disconnect, bayonet coupling, circular, environment resistant, electrical connectors capable of continuous operation within a temperature range of −65°C to +175°C (see 6.1). These connectors are intermateable with applicable series I and series II connectors of MIL-C-38999. These connectors are supplied under a MIL-STD-790 reliability assurance program. See 6.1 for restrictions on intended use and applications.

Both series employ fixed pin and socket contacts with solder termination. Both series are designed to assure proper orientation of the mating halves prior to electrical circuit closure. Both series provide EMI shielding capability. Series I provides electrical continuity between mated shells prior to contact engagement and have the contacts so located as to be protected from handling damage and inadvertent electrical contact. Series II provides low silhouette for minimum size and weight and includes connectors which provide shell-to-shell electrical continuity when mated.

Connectors are capable of satisfactory performance during or after, as applicable, subjection to the following environmental conditions:

Temperatures from −65°C to +175°C (see 1.3.1d).

Vibration from 10 to 2,000 Hz sinusoidal at 10 g's at ambient temperature.

Shock as represented by a 3 ±1 milliseconds base half-sine wave peaking at 30 g's.

Humidity conditions up to 98 percent relative humidity including condensation.

EMI shielding effectiveness:

Series I: 100 MHz to 1 GHz - minimum attenuation of 85 dB. Series II: 100 MHz to 1 GHz - minimum attenuation of 45 dB.
