Composite Tri-Start Connector offers a lightweight,
corrosion resistant connector with the same high
performance features as its metal counterpart. The
Composite Tri-Start Connector also includes the fol-
lowing features:
• Lightweight -
17% – 70% weight savings
(17–40% weight savings vs. aluminum)
(60–70% weight savings vs. stainless steel)
See Composite weight comparison chart, pg. 47.
•
Corrosion Resistance -

hours of salt spray exposure. The base material is
able to withstand an indefinite exposure to salt spray.
•
Durability -
1500 couplings minimum (in reference to
connector couplings, not contacts)
•
Extended Life Contact -
Mil-approved plating
process which provides 1500 couplings minimum

Tri-Start MIL-DTL-38999* Series III Connectors
offer the highest performance capabilities for both general
duty and severe environment applications. Meeting or ex-
ceeding MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements, the Tri-Start
connector with standard metal shells (aluminum or stain-
less steel with several finish options) offers these features:
• EMI Shielding
- solid metal to metal coupling, grounding
fingers, electroless nickel plating, and thicker wall sections
provide superior EMI shielding capability of 65dB minimum
at 10 GHz
•
Contact Protection -
recessed pins in this 100% scoop-
proof connector minimize potential contact damage
•
Moisture Resistance -
improved interfacial seal design
helps prevent electrolytic erosion of contacts
•
Corrosion Resistance -
shells of stainless steel or
cadmium over nickel plating withstand a 500 hour salt spray
exposure
•
Vibration/Shock -
operates under severe high temperature
vibration, through 200°C
•
Firewall Capability -
available in a stainless steel shell,
class RK, RS
•
Lockwiring Eliminated -
unique, self-locking, quick
coupling connector eliminates lockwiring
•
Quick Coupling -
completely mates and self-locks in a
360° turn of the coupling nut
•
Inventory Support Commonality -
uses standard MIL-
DTL-38999 contacts, application tools, insert arrangements
•
Electrostatic Discharge Protection (ESD) -
protection for
sensitive circuitry without diodes, varistors, etc., with the
use of the Faraday Cage principal which shunts high
voltage, high current discharge events (see page 51)
•
Ground Plane Connectors -
with metallic insert for
common grounding of coax, triax or twinax contact outer

High Vibration Connector
The latest offering from Amphenol in MIL-DTL-38999,
the CLUTCH-LOK connector offers:
All advantages of stainless steel/Class K firewall Tri-
Start connectors plus a unique clutch design that
actually tightens itself under vibration.
Features include:
•
High degree of differential torque
•
No settling back to the next ratchet tooth
• Completely intermateable with all existing
MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors
•
Offers advantage in inaccessible, hard to reach
areas where mating torque is difficult to apply and
complete coupling is not verifiable by inspection

Tri-Start
offers more versatility & options
than any other interconnection family
The Tri-Start Connector is the high performance choice
in the D38999 Family.
Originally designed in order to increase the performance lev-
els of MIL-DTL-38999 Series I and II, the Series III was cre-
ated to meet high performance connector criteria.
Dynamic features for performance and reliability that were
needed for military, aerospace and ground vehicle applica-
tions were designed into the Series III that include:
•
•
•
Rapid coupling via a triple-start thread
Shell-to-shell or metal-to-metal bottoming
Improved EMI shielding
Fiber Optic Multi-Channel D38999
The Tri-Start Family of connectors has grown and expanded
since its original addition to the 38999 series in order to meet
ever-evolving interconnection product needs. Today, the Tri-
Start family has styles and options that cover a very wide
range to meet not only the highest performance needs of
space applications, but also general duty connector needs.
The Tri-Start Connector Series is second to none in
terms of versatility and customer options.
The broad porfolio includes Tri-Starts with:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Aluminum and nickel plated stainless steel shells
Class K Firewalls
Composite shells
Clutch-Lok® high vibration design
Fiber Optics
Fail-Safe Lanyard Release connectors
Variety of contact options: shielded, coax, matched imped-
ance coax, triax, twinax, quadrax, thermocouple, PCB tail and
wire wrap
• Ground plane versions and Press-fit® with compliant pins
• ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection
• Filter/Transient protection
• Hermetic versions
• Long reach receptacle styles
• Numerous shell geometries,
finishes and accessories

Designed for Performance
Numerous advantages in performance capability are designed
into the Amphenol Tri-Start Connector. A positive metal to metal
coupling design, grounding fingers, and electroless nickel plat-
ing provide superior EMI shielding capability of 65 dB minimum
at 10 GHz.
Acme threads provide coupling durability. Thicker wall sections
and a greater coupling surface area improve strength and shock
resistance. Blunting of the thread on both the coupling nut and
receptacle eliminates cross coupling. The connector quickly
mates and self locks in a 360° turn of the coupling nut.
Elongated mounting holes permit the Tri-Start Connector to
intermount with various existing MIL-spec box or wall mount re-
ceptacles, giving it a design replacement advantage.
Shells of stainless steel, or cadmium over nickel plating prevent
severe corrosion. Resistance is tested through exposure to a
500 hour salt spray. Composite versions provide protection from
salt spray exposure for 2000 hours. Other finish options are avail-
able; see how to order Tri-Start metal and Tri-Start Composite.
Recessed pins minimize potential contact damage in this 100%
scoop-proof connector. In a blind mating application, mating shells
cannot “scoop” the pins and cause a shorting or bending of con-
tacts.
The design of the Amphenol Tri-Start interfacial seal meets the
MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements for electrolytic erosion
resistance.
A rigid dielectric insert with excellent electrical characteristics
provides durable protection to the contacts. The socket contacts
are probe proof, and all contacts are rear removable. They are
plated in the standard 50 micro inches minimum gold, with 100
micro inches as an option and are available in standard Tri-Start
insert arrangements and special Pyle® insert arrangements in
sizes 10 power, 12, 16, 20 and 22D contacts. Special insert pat-
terns are also available with larger contacts in sizes 4 and 0.
