Features and Applications
The D38999/26FD19PN uses a self-locking tri-start threaded coupling system that supports fast mating while helping prevent accidental disengagement under vibration. Its shielded aluminum construction provides a balance between mechanical durability, EMI protection and weight.
Typical applications include:
Aircraft avionics and flight-control equipment
Radar and electronic warfare systems
Military ground vehicles
Navigation and communication equipment
Marine and shipboard electronics
Ruggedized sensors and instrumentation
Engine-control and power-distribution systems
Mating Connector and Accessories
A corresponding receptacle must use the same 15-19 insert arrangement, opposite socket contacts and the same normal key orientation. One applicable configuration is:
D38999/20FD19SN – wall-mount receptacle with female socket contacts
The complete assembly may also require contacts, sealing plugs, a cable clamp or backshell. Compatible accessory families include:
Size 20 crimp contacts
M85049 backshells and cable clamps
EMI/RFI shield termination accessories
Protective caps
Sealing plugs and insertion/removal tools
Compatibility should be checked using the complete connector and accessory part numbers rather than shell size alone.
D38999/26FD19PN FAQ
Is D38999/26FD19PN a plug or receptacle?
It is a straight, free-hanging circular plug designed for cable mounting.
Does it use pin or socket contacts?
D38999/26FD19PN uses 19 male pin contacts. The letter P in the part number identifies pin contacts.
What is the shell finish?
The aluminum shell has an electroless nickel finish. This configuration provides corrosion resistance, conductivity and EMI shielding without an olive-drab cadmium coating.
What connector mates with D38999/26FD19PN?
A compatible receptacle must have the 15-19 insert arrangement, female socket contacts and N orientation. D38999/20FD19SN is a corresponding wall-mount receptacle configuration.
Is D38999/26FD19PN suitable for high-vibration environments?
Yes. Its MIL-DTL-38999 Series III construction and self-locking tri-start threaded coupling are designed for aerospace, military and other vibration-intensive applications.
Are contacts and accessories always included?
The supplied configuration can vary by procurement channel. Confirm whether crimp contacts, sealing plugs, backshells and installation tools are included before ordering.
