Series III, TV Breakaway Fail Safe Connectors
Quick-Disconnect with an Axial Pull of Lanyard
Amphenol^® Tri-Start Breakaway Fail Safe
Connectors provide unequaled
performance in environments requiring
instant disengagement.
Designed to provide quick disconnect of a
connector plug and receptacle with an axial
pull on the lanyard, the “Breakaway” Fail
Safe connector family offers a wide range
of electrical and mechanical features:
• Instant decoupling and damage
free separation
• Completely intermateable with standard
receptacles (D38999/20 and /24)
• Inventory support commonality through
the use of standard insert arrangements
and contacts
Breakaway un-mating is initiated by applying
a pull force to the lanyard which causes the
operating sleeve on the plug to move away
from the receptacle. Coupling segments
on the plug then move away from the mating
receptacle while expanding, thus releasing

the receptacle. After completion of the un-mating sequence, spring
compression returns the sleeve and segments to their original
positions. Un-mating of the plug may also be accomplished by normal
rotation of the coupling ring without affecting the breakaway capability.
The Tri-Start Breakaway Fail Safe connector exceeds the MIL-Spec
Series III requirements for EMI/EMP shielding and features include:
• Solid metal-to-metal coupling
• EMI grounding fingers
• Conductive finishes
Amphenol Breakaway Fail Safe connectors are qualified to
MIL-DTL-38999/29, /30 and /31 (for MIL-STD-1760 Stores Management
applications). In fact, Amphenol offers more qualified Breakaway shell
size and insert combinations than any other QPL supplier.
In addition to standard Breakaway connectors, Amphenol also manufactures
custom breakaway connectors including those with:
• Highly durable non-metallic operating sleeves in a variety of lengths
and diameters
• Increased pull-force capability
• Low-profile designs
• Custom lanyard lengths and backshells
• Low force separation capabilities
• Low insertion/separation force contacts
• Non-cadmium finishes
