DETAIL SPECIFICATION
CONNECTORS, ELECTRICAL, CIRCULAR, MINIATURE, HIGH DENSITY,
QUICK DISCONNECT (BAYONET, THREADED, AND BREECH COUPLING),
ENVIRONMENT RESISTANT, REMOVABLE CRIMP AND HERMETIC SOLDER CONTACTS
GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR
This specification is approved for use by all Departments
and Agencies of the Department of Defense.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Scope. This specification covers four series of miniature, high density, bayonet, threaded, or breech
coupling, circular, environment resistant, electrical connectors using removable crimp or fixed hermetic
solder contacts, and are capable of operation within a temperature range of -65°C to +200°C (see 1.3.1d).
See 6.1 for intended use and applications.
1.2 Description. All series include rear release removable pin and socket contacts with crimp
termination. All series are designed to assure proper orientation of the mating halves prior to electrical
circuit closure. All series include hermetically sealed receptacles with fixed contacts for solder termination.
All series include EMI shielding capability. Series I, III, and IV connectors with conductive finishes provide
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.
1.3 Classification.
1.3.1 Connectors. Connectors fabricated to this specification are classified as follows:
a. Series: The series I, II, III, and IV connectors are not interchangeable or intermateable.

e. Contact styles:
(1) Contact designators for connectors using standard contact arrangements as indicated in
MIL-STD-1560 are as follows:
P -
S -
H -
J -
X -
Z -
C -
Pin - Including hermetics with solder cups, 500-cycle contact.
Socket - Including hermetics with solder cups, 500-cycle contact.
Pin - 1500-cycle contact.
Socket - 1500-cycle contact.
Pin - With eyelet (hermetic).
Socket - With eyelet (hermetic).
Feedthrough.
The P, S, H, J, X, Z, or C designators are used to indicate that connectors will be used with full
compliments of the applicable standard contacts as indicated in MIL-STD-1560.
The connectors that accommodate crimp removable contacts (P, S, H, and J) may be ordered
without standard contacts by adding an appropriate note on the purchase order; however, the
connector Part or Identifying Number (PIN) and the marking requirements remain unchanged
(see 3.4.1.1, 3.43, and 6.2).

MIL-DTL-38999K
(2) Contact designators for connectors using other than standard contact arrangements as
indicated in MIL-STD-1560 are as follows:
A -Pin contact insert.
B -Socket contact insert.
The A and B designators are used to indicate that the connectors will be used with other than
standard contacts as indicated in MIL-STD-1560 (example: shielded, coaxial thermocouple,
fiber optic contacts). The A and B designators are part of the connector PINs and should be
marked on the connectors.
The standard contacts should not be supplied with the connectors. The contacts that will be
used with the connectors must be ordered separately (see 3.4.1.1, 3.43, and 6.2).
Note: When other than standard power contacts are used, the requirements stated herein may
not be met.
