38999 Circular Connectors
Our 38999 circular connectors combines Kryoflex® ceramic-to-metal sealing technology with ultra light-weight materials to create truly hermetic connectors. Using the light-weight aluminum housings will create a connector that is up to 60% lighter than stainless steel without sacrificing reliability.
These connectors can be produced for both laser-weld and solder-in applications.
Our hermetically-sealed 38999 circular connectors exceed the requirements of MIL-DTL-38999.
