D38999 Type Hybrid Breakaway – Series III
Crimp, Metal Shell with Composite Operating Sleeve,
And Lower Profile Lanyard Release Plug
New Hybrid Lanyard Breakaway Fail Safe connec-
tor with a composite thermoplastic outer operating
sleeve for greater durability.
This new hybrid breakaway is the breakaway of choice
for the Navy F-18 program.
Amphenol’s hybrid lanyard design offers greater durability
over D38999 aluminum and composite designs because
of its ability to handle abuse taken after weapons release.
Other advantages include:
• Lower profile compared to full metal breakaway
Fail Safe connectors
• Less weight
This Hybrid Breakaway meets the applicable require-
ments of MIL-DTL-38999/31 including random & sine
vibration, ice resistance, fluid immersion and hydrolytic
stability tests. (Test reports are available upon request).
Currently the hybrid breakaway is available in shell
sizes 25 and 17. It uses standard inserts available for
breakaway plugs sizes 25 and 17, and is also available
with inserts 25-20 and 25-11 for MIL-STD-1760. Consult
Amphenol Aerospace for ordering of the new hybrid
breakaway connectors. These hybrid connectors will
accommodate the standard backshells for breakaway
connectors shown on page 90.
