Amphenol^® 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
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
