Quadrax Contacts
MIL-DTL-38999, Series III, General Description
AMPHENOL QUADRAX CONTACTS
Offers several advantages for high data transfer rates, low power consumption,
and excellent EMI compatibility. Four strategically spaced inner contacts form
two 100 or 150 Ohm matched impedance differential pairs. The Outer contact
has a rugged wall section for durability. Available in size 8 crimp termination
style. Also available in size 8 with PC tails (see pages 22-23). Requires
modification of MIL-DTL-38999 connector to accommodate keyed contacts.

See page 19 for part number ordering of popularly used 38999 Series III
connectors with 100 ohm quadrax contacts.
GUIDE FOR SELECTING A BACKSHELL:
See required backshell dimensions to avoid
interference between piggyback grommets
used on size 8 cavities and the backshell.

SUGGESTED STRAIN RELIEF - INSERT ARRANGEMENTS 9-5 OR 19-18 WITH QUADRAX CONTACTS
Due to the piggyback grommet interference with normal strain reliefs on the shell size 9 only, the recommended strain relief for the
connector is: Amphenol part number TGW-R-5309-10 (OD Cad) or TGF-R-5309-10 (Electroless nickel)
