Series I, LJT Breakaway Fail Safe
Quick-Disconnect with Axial Pull of Lanyard
Amphenol LJT 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 LJT receptacles
• Inventory support commonality through the use of standard
insert arrangements and contacts
Breakaway un-mating is initiated by applying a pull force to the lan-
yard 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 com-
pression 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 LJT Breakaway Fail Safe connector features which
provide EMI EMP shielding in excess of MIL-DTL-38999
Series I requirements:
• Solid metal-to-metal coupling
• EMI grounding fingers
• Conductive finishes
Contact Amphenol Aerospace for more information on breakaway,
quick-disconnect connectors. Other Amphenol cylindrical families
(MIL-DTL-38999 Series III, MIL-DTL-26482, MIL-DTL-83723) also
offer breakaway quick-disconnect connectors.
LJT Breakaway Fail Safe
In addition to standard Breakaway connectors,
Amphenol also manufactures custom breakaway
connectors including those with:
• Increased pull-force capability
• Custom lanyard lengths and backshells
• Low force separation capabilities
• Low insertion/separation force contacts
• Non-cadmium finishes
• Custom JT Series Breakaway designs have
been developed for special applications;
however the LJT Series is
recommended over the JT Series for the
quick-disconnect breakaway style.
