Amphenol® High Frequency Contacts
Provide High Speed Transmission and
Operate in High Frequency Conditions
When you need superior electrical performance plus shielding to eliminate
interference from outside electrical sources in a connector, Amphenol has the
most reliable contact solutions.
Amphenol offers a very wide range of contacts that provide high speed transmission and
operate in high frequency conditions. You can be assured of interconnection compatibility
when you come to Amphenol for your contact needs as well as your connector needs.
Amphenol’s expertise in interconnection solutions assures that your contacts will mate
properly and will perform to the application specifications of your particular requirements.
MIL-DTL-38999 CONNECTORS - The high performance series most ideal for integrating
high speed and high frequency contacts. MIL-DTL-38999, Series I, II and III are by far the
choice of connector for today’s avionics needs - these subminiature family connectors are
ideally suited for the incorporation of shielded contacts.
This catalog section is primarily devoted to the high speed and high frequency contact
options for use in MIL-DTL-38999 Connectors, which include:
Coaxial
Pin and socket
contacts
designed for
RF/microwave
and shielded
wire applica-
tions. Sizes 4,
8, 12 & 16
Concentric
Twinax
Triax
Quadrax
Pin and socket
contacts designed for
protection from
magnetic and electro-
static interference
including nuclear
electromagnetic
pulse. Sizes 8 & 12
Pin and socket
contacts
designed for
shielded wire
applications
with 3
conductors.
Sizes 8, 10 & 12
Size 8 pin and socket
contacts. An outer
contact with 4
strategically spaced
inner contacts
forming two 100 or
150 Ohm matched
impedance
differential pairs.
Differential
Twinax
Size 8 pin and socket
contacts. An outer
contact with 2 inner
contacts spaced to
form one 100 or 150
Ohm matched
impedance
differential pair.
High
Frequency
Transition
Adapters
Size 8 Coaxial
contacts that provide
high frequencies (DC
to 40 GHz). Unique
“Float Mount”
technology maintains
tight mechanical
tolerances.
Matched impedance
quadrax and twinax
transition adapters
provide a method of
launching from the
high speed
connectors to PCB
boards.
Other series of connectors from Amphenol Aerospace, in addition to
38999 connectors, can incorporate shielded contacts. These include the following
(and are also covered in this catalog section):
• Amphenol® Heavy Duty Circular Connectors, MIL-DTL-22992 -
with coax contacts.
• Amphenol® Printed Circuit Board Connectors - Rectangular connectors with
standard low mating force brush contacts can have hybrid arrangements with
coax contacts.
• LRM Interconnects - Rectangular module and backplane connectors with standard
low mating force brush contacts can have hybrid arrangements with coax contacts.
• Amphenol® ARINC 600 and R27 Rack & Panel Connectors are available with
quadrax, coax, twinax and differential twinax contacts.
The Cable Usage Guide is a key reference to help guide you in selecting the contacts
best suited to your needs. Since most shielded wire applications start with a fixed
requirement for cable types, the guide refers you to the Amphenol connector family
utilizing contacts which are compatible with the cable characteristics.
