Amphenol Socapex PowerSafe MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Connectors
Amphenol Socapex PowerSafe MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Connectors were developed to transfer high power (500V) in harsh environments with full safety for the user. The circular connectors offer an IP28 rating, tested pressure watertight (48h, under 2m water), and allows a finger test for socket contacts and inserts. Depending on the shell and backshell plating option, the PowerSafe connectors operate in a temperature range as low as -65°C and up to +200°C. The Amphenol Socapex PowerSafe MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Connectors are ideal for use in defense, avionics, and harsh industrial markets.
