Cylindrical Connector
1 Terms and definiTions 1
Back-Mounted: A connector design used in panel or box applications in which the mounting flange is located inside the equipment enclosure. BayonetCoupling: A mating design utilizing pins on the receptacle and ramps on the plug for quick-connect and disconnect coupling. Reverse bayonet puts the pins on the plug and ramps on the receptacle. CircularConnector: Any of a thousand flavors of multipin interconnects with cylindrical contact housings and circular contact interface geometries. Circular connectors are selected for ease of engagement and disengagement, their ability to conveniently house different types of contacts, their wide range of allowable contact voltages and currents, their ease of environmental sealing and their rugged mechanical performance. In military and other high-rel applications, the MIL-C-5015 and D38999 are the most commonly specified types. Note: A disadvantage of the circular design is loss of panel space when used in arrays. ClosedEntry: A contact cavity design in which the entry diameter of the socket insulator is smaller than the O.D. of the socket contact. Closed entry limits the size or position of the mating contact to a maximum dimension. ConnectorBody: The metal or plastic shell of a connector. Its main purpose is to house the contacts, maintain their position and shield them from dust, dirt, moisture, and electrical interference. CoaxialContacts(andCable): A contact with inner and outer conductive elements separated by a center dielectric element. Coaxial contacts terminate coaxial cable, and are employed in high bandwidth, highfrequency applications such as video and audio. The cable offers a closed, controlled impedance medium for the transmission of RF energy. It also provides high frequency performance and RFI shielding. Contact: The conductive element in a connector. Contacts mate mechanically and electrically to transmit signals and/or power across a connector interface. Crimp style contacts are the most common type found in high-reliability cylindrical connectors. Male contacts are sometimes referred to as leads, posts or pins. Female contacts are universally known as sockets. ContactArrangementorPattern: The gauge, number, spacing and arrangement of contacts in a connector. Contact arrangement selections are based on the current and voltage requirements of the application, and the space available for the connector package. ContactEngagingandSeparatingForce: Tensile force required to engage or separate mating contacts. Measured in ounces, the force increases with the number of contacts and with contact size. Contact(orCircuit)Identifier: Wiring schematics identify and label each and every circuit with numbers, letters or special codes. On the connector, this process is maintained by marking small numbers or letters next to each contact cavity on the connector. ContactResistance: The measure of electrical resistance across a pair of fully mated contacts. Measured in ohms or millivolt drop at a specified current, contact resistance is affected by normal force (the static force on the contact interface), plating quality and the physical geometry of the contact. ContactRetainer: A locking clip or tang used to secure a crimp contact in place within the connector insert. Contact retention specifications define the force required to remove a properly seated contact for each class of connector. ContactRetention: The pressure a contact can withstand, in either direction, without being dislodged from the retaining clip which holds it within the connector. ContactSize: An assigned number denoting the outside diameter of the engaging end of the pin contact. The larger the number, the smaller the size. ContactSpacing: Also referred to as pitch, the distance, center-to-center, between adjacent contacts.

CouplingRing: An accessory feature of the connector plug which aids in mating and unmating plugs and receptacles and prevents decoupling of the connector. Self-locking coupling rings are used for high-vibration applications. Crimp: The physical compression (deformation) of a contact barrel around a conductor in order to make an electrical connection. CrimpContact: A connector pin or socket, shipped loose with the connector body, and designed to be crimped onto the end of the wire conductor with a special tool. Often referred to as crimp and poke contacts, the terminated contact is poked into the connector body either by hand, or in the case of small gauge wires, with the aid of a hand-held tool. The ease of assembly and maintenance afforded by crimp contacts is preferred for aerospace and other high reliability applications not requiring a hermetic seal. Dielectric: A material having electrical insulating properties, such as the contact insulator in a connector or the jacketing on a wire. ElectricalConnector: A separable device which provides mechanical and electrical contact between two elements of an electronic system without unacceptable signal distortion or power loss. Electromagneticinterference (EMI) is conducted, radiated or magnetically induced voltage that degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts performance of electronic equipment. EnvironmentallySealed: Connectors and backshells designed to prevent fluids, moisture, air or dust from degrading the performance of electrical contacts and conductors. Environmental components typically use gaskets, grommets, potting materials or interfacial and O-ring seals to prevent the penetration of foreign substances into the body of the part. FilterContactorFilterConnector: Contact design which provides EMI suppression in addition to its normal function of transmitting electrical energy. Filtered connectors are typically specified for highspeed signal paths. Filtering is accomplished through the integration of capacitors into the contact to separate high-frequency noise from low-frequency signals. FirewallConnector: A class of high-reliability, feedthrough connectors designed to prevent fire or sparks from penetrating through a sealed bulkhead.

Firewall connectors must continue to function for a specific period of time when exposed to fire, and are typically specified in military applications such as fighter jets and Navy ships. Flange: The integral mounting plate on some bulkhead and feed-through connectors used to attach the connector to the chassis or panel. The connector flange is typically square, and is mounted to the panel with threaded screws. FrontMounted: A connector design used in panel or box applications in which the mounting flange is located on the inside or outside of the equipment enclosure. FrontRelease: Crimp and poke style contacts may be removed from the connector for maintenance using a special hand-held tool. The proper insertion and removal tool must be used at all times. In front release designs, the tool is inserted into the mating face of the connector to disengage the contact from its retaining clip. The disengaged contact is then removed from the back (cable-side) of the connector by lightly pulling on the attached wire. Grommet: An elastomeric seal used on the back side of a connector to seal out fluids, moisture, air and dust. Grounding (or EMI) Fingers: A set of spring fingers in certain connectors, used to facilitate shell to shell grounding and enhance EMI performance. The grounding fingers engage before contact mating and remain engaged until after contact separation. GuidePins: Metal posts with a rounded or pointed tip which projects beyond the contact interface, used to assist in the correct alignment and mating of connector shells and contacts. The post mates with a corresponding cavity on the mating connector before contacts are allowed to engage. Guide pins are typically used in rack and panel packaging and in other blindmate applications. Guide pins can also be used to insure correct polarization. HermeticConnector: A class of connectors equipped with a pressure seal for use in maintaining pressurized application environments. The hermetic element of the connector is typically fabricated from vitreous glass.

Insert: A molded piece of dielectric material that fits inside the connector shell and supports the connector contacts. Inserts are tooled for each shell size, and contact arrangement. Inserts made from resilient materials also contribute to environmental properties. InsulationDisplacement: Forcing an insulated wire into a terminal slot smaller than the conductor diameter, displacing the insulation to make electrical contact. InterfacialSeal: An elastomeric seal providing overall sealing of the mated connectors and their individual contacts. Cork & bottle style seals feature a raised shoulder around each pin contact that compresses into a corresponding hole on the socket contact insulator. Key: A short pin (sometimes referred to as a dog by crusty old machinists) which slides into a corresponding slot or keyway to guide the plug and receptacle together during mating. The principal function of the key is to insure polarization of the mating contacts. LevelsofInterconnection: A classification system for connectors defining connector types in terms of interconnect system function. The levels of most use include Level 4 (subassembly to subassembly), Level 5 (subassembly to I/O) and Level 6 (system to system). The lower levels (1, 2 and 3) all concern interconnection inside the microscopic world of printed circuit boards. MatingandUnmatingForce: The force required to join and separate two halves of a connector. This is the sum of contact engaging forces plus any additional force necessary to overcome minor misalignment of connector halves and any dimensional variations in the connector shells. NormalForce: A measure of the spring pressure applied perpendicularly to contacts in mated connectors. The force of this spring pressure creates the gas-tight interface between contact surfaces which prevents corrosive contaminants from penetrating or forming between the contacts. High normal force reduces resistance across the contacts, but contributes to contact wear and may overstress the connector housing and even damage the spring properties of contact sockets. However, maintaining a constant normal force is an essential requirement for electrical integrity in the connector.

PackageSize: The length, width and height of the connector; or alternatively the dimensions of the entire interconnect system. Package size is an issue in many applications where system miniaturization, faster operating speeds, higher operating temperatures and other application requirements place new demands on the envelope of space the connector and its accessories may occupy. Plug: The half of a connector pair which is designed to attach to a wire or cable; as opposed to the receptacle half which is typically mounted to a bulkhead, panel or box. Even though we usually picture plugs as having male (pin) contacts, they can in fact house any type of contactpins, sockets or even both. Thus it is the design and location of the connector which makes it a plug, not the gender of its contacts. Polarize: Design features on mating connectors such as keyways or shell geometriesthat insure connectors can be mated in only one possible orientation. The shape of a D-Sub connector shell, for example, assures that the two halves of the connector can be mated in only one way. Potting: The permanent sealing of the cable end of a connector with a compound or material to exclude moisture or to provide a strain relief. Glenair typically uses epoxy compounds for this purpose because of their dimensional stability and high-temperature resistance. Radiofrequencyinterference (RFI) is a type of EMI that occurs between the audio and infrared frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum. Many natural RF signals exist in nature, but typically RFI is a manmade electromagnetic wave such as might originate in unfiltered electronic circuitry. RearRelease: Crimp and poke style contacts (see Crimp Contacts above) may be removed from the connector for maintenance using a special hand-held tool. The proper insertion and removal tool must be used to install and remove wires from such crimp and poke connectors. In rear release designs, the tool is inserted into the rear (cable side) of the connector to disengage the contact from its retaining clip. The disengaged contact is then removed from the connector by lightly pulling on the attached wire. Receptacle: The other half of the connector pair, designed to be mountedwith jam nut fittings or other fastener hardwareto a bulkhead, panel or box.

Inline receptacles are also available for cable-to-cable connections. As with the plug, it is the design and location of the receptacle in the system, not the gender of its contacts, which makes it a receptacle. RectangularConnector: Any of the thousands of multipin interconnects with rectangular shell housings and rectangular insert interface geometries. Rectangular connectors are typically mounted in rack and panel configurations in which large arrays of fixed receptacle connectors are mated with plugs attached to a movable rack for efficient utilization of space. D-Subminiatures are the worlds most common rectangular connectors. Scoop-proof: Scoop-proof connectors feature a nice, long shell on the receptacle which prevents damage to the exposed contact pins during mating. No matter how hard that swabbie tries, it is impossible to cock the mating plug so as to damage the pins or electrically short the contacts. ServiceRating: Also called Current Rating, the maximum voltage or current load a connector is designed to carry during continuous, long-term use. Good engineering practice usually entails preliminary testing of connectors which will be operated with most or all contacts at the maximum rated load. Designers will often maximize contact and wire size in such situations. SolderCup: A connector design that typically uses potting material to permanently affix the contacts inside the connector shell. Termination of contact to wire is then accomplished by soldering the wire into the cup-like barrel on the back of the contact. In the United Kingdom it is important to pronounce the l in solder. Brits also prefer to say bucket rather than cup when specifying solder contacts. Standoff Part of a connector shell, a standoff provides additional working room between the connector shell, and, for example, a printed circuit board SurfaceMount: A termination method in which solder tails or leads on the connector are soldered directly to a printed circuit board. In high-reliability commercial and military applications, surface mount receptacle connectors are typically limited to rectangular designs such as D-Subminiatures and Micro-Ds. But some surface-mount applications do use a cylindrical connector mounted to the box with ribbon cable or flying leads soldered directly to the

PCB. The reason here is to provide a low-resistance pathway to ground of the shielded cable. In severe EMI applications, it is less satisfactory to bring the shielded cable directly to the printed circuit board because of the difficulty in shielding out interference conducted along the cable. Termination: Termination is the physical act of attaching a wire conductor to a contact. Effective termination contributes to electrical performance and to the durability and reliability of the interconnect system. Common termination methods include crimp, insulation displacement, surface mount, and soldering. Termination can also refer to the mechanical attachment of EMI shielding to the connector backshell. ThreadedCoupling: An interconnect mating design which utilizes a threaded nut on the plug, and a corresponding set of threads on the receptacle, to mate the pair of components. The coupling nut is usually equipped with flats or knurling for easy assembly. Different thread types, profiles and geometries provide different functionality. Buttress threads, for example, are often specified on plastic connectors due to their enhanced tensile strength. The MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connector incorporates a triple-start threaded coupling mechanism for greater vibration protection and faster mating and unmating. WallMount A square-flanged receptacle connector in which the mounting flange is located on the outside of the equipment enclosure. WipingEffectiveness: Maintaining a clean, metallic path is essential if contacts are to perform with low and stable contact resistance. Surface films and contaminants are removed from the surface of plated contacts each time mating occurs. This displacement of surface contaminants during mating is called contact wiping. Wiping effectiveness depends on the contact geometry, engagement length and normal force. Interestingly, oxide film does not form on gold plated contacts, so wiping pressure can be lighter to displace only the occasional surface contaminant. WirePull-OutForce: This defines the force required to separate a wire from a contact. In properly terminated crimp contacts, the wire will generally break before it pulls away from the contact.

Introduction to

Military Standard Cylindrical Connectors

he purpose of a connector is easy to describe: connectors bridge gaps between individual pieces of electronic equipment to make assembly, repair and upgrades easier to accomplish. Instead of struggling with a gordian knot of soldered circuits and spliced wiring, connectors enable technicians to make interconnections with ease and convenience. Connectors bridge the gap between individual wires to provide contact between two conductive elements of an electronic system. The connection they make enables electrical current (or light waves in the case of fiber optics) to flow from one conductor to the next. Edwards Publishings indispensable Encyclopedia of Connectors defines the connector thus: An electromechanical device which permits two or more circuit elements to be electrically and mechanically separated and reconnected at will without disturbing any other elements of the circuit. A connector performs no circuit function and should have no effect on the electrical performance of the device to which it is attached. If the connectors of a device were eliminated and the corresponding wires joined together, the circuit would not be affected. When connectors are used to connect one set

of wires to another, they are called wire-to-wire connectors. Wire-to-board connectors connect a wire to a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). And board-to-board connectors directly interconnect PCBs. Connectors facilitate the fabrication and assembly of electronic products by enabling designers to treat each subassembly as a unique, modular unit. Interconnection can then be accomplished at the most convenient time and place in the production process. Connectors also facilitate the equipment repair process by allowing technicians to quickly and easily replace suspect components. Without opening black box cabinets and without introducing contaminants like solder and flux into the system, technicians can swap out suspect equipment and have a system back on line in a matter of minutes. Connectors also permit upgrades to electronic equipment without major disruptions to the overall system. Connectors give engineers the flexibility to integrate new products and components into existing systems simply by maintaining a consistent connector specification. While there is great variety in the makeup and design of each type of connector, as a family they generally share a common set of design elements and component parts. In fact, in order to function as a separable interconnect device, a connector must house the following elements: Contact Interface: a mechanical means of joining the conductive contacts together under normal force Contact Spring Members: a means of generating the normal force required to maintain the electrical path between conductive contact elements Contact Finish: a means of protecting the contacts from corrosion, and for optimizing the lubricity and durability of the contact interface

Connector testing is designed to simulate a lifetime of use over a short period of time. Environmental, mechanical and electrical tests are conducted to measure both the reliability of the connector and the system. The number-one criterion of reliability is a change in contact resistance.

Contact Housing: a means of holding the contacts and spring members in place and maintaining their exact position and alignment. The contact housing also shields the contacts from the operating environment.

Connectors are selected with consideration to electrical, mechanical and environmental requirements. Electrical requirements include wire type and size, contact resistance, transfer impedance and current rating. Mechanical specifications, such as thermal shock, vibration and durability indicate how well a connector will perform under critical stress factors. Environmental requirements include moisture absorption, temperature resistance, corrosion and resistance to electromagnetic interference. Environmentally resistant connectors are required for interconnect systems which are subjected to fluids in combination with vibration, shock, thermal extremes and corrosion. While the same basic connector design may be used for both signal and/or power distribution, power connectors use contacts designed specifically for the unique requirements of power distribution. This is due to the relatively higher current/voltage requirements of power applications and the temperature rise experienced by power connectors. A disk drive in a personal computer, for example, uses both signal and power connectors. The power connector bridges the circuit that drives the unit. The signal connector carries the digital data. While the signal and power contacts may be combined into a single connector housing, each contact type is uniquely suited for its role in transmitting either signal or power electrical energy.

important factors determining system reliability. Military standard connectors (and their commercial equivalents) are chosen for their performance and reliability even in the most severe interconnect applications.

The Military Standard Connector

The multi-contact electrical connector used in Air Force, Navy and other high-reliability applications is a critical subassembly within the wiring system. Military connectors find many diversified applications due to severe environments, mobility, and field repairability. The key attribute of such connectors is better reliability when compared to less expensive commercial connectors. The reliability of a system is essentially a measure of the failure rate of its components. Connectors can fail due to plug dependent mechanisms, wear mechanisms or corrosion mechanisms. Total system life, power on-hours (POH) and system on/off cycles (number of times that a product powers on and off) are

The military standard connector is made up of two separate component assemblies known as the plug and receptacle which intermate to connect wires with pin and socket contacts. Connector families are defined in this high-reliability world by the military detail specifications which spell out the exact requirements for every aspect of the connectors design and performance. Connector families are distinguished by their coupling mechanisms, physical shape, contact types, environmental classes and termination methodologies. Plug and receptacle connector pairs are available in various mounting configurations to accommodate different levels of interconnection and different application requirements. The most common configurations are for in-line (wire-to-wire) applications, or for various bulkhead, chassis and enclosure mountings. In general, connectors are available to accommodate any fixed mounting or inline requirement. Circular connectors are selected because of their compact, rugged design and their ability to effectively seal the connector from environmental hazards. Circular connectors may incorporate bayonet couplings, threaded couplings, ball detent couplings (push/pull), and/or breech lock couplings as their mechanism for locking the mated pairs together.

Rectangular connectors are selected to maximize the number of contacts possible in a restricted space. However, rectangulars are not as easily sealed against fluid damage and other environmental hazards. Spring style rack/panel couplings as well as standard jackscrew fasteners are both common coupling styles in rectangular connectors. Both circulars and rectangulars can accommodate multiple contact types including power or highvoltage contacts, signal contacts, coaxial and triaxial contacts, or fiber-optic termini. High reliability contacts are usually made from gold plated, copper alloy material. Large diameter power contacts and solder type contacts may be either gold or silver plated copper alloy. Crimp style contacts are preferred for all aerospace and other high-reliability applications (except those requiring a hermetic seal) due to their relative ease of assembly and maintenance. Solder type contacts are usually selected when cost is the primary consideration and repairability secondary. Solder type contacts are also used in hermetic connectors. Installation of both crimp and solder type contact connectors requires unobstructed working room behind the connector. Rear release crimp contacts require additional working room to install the extraction tool to remove the contact. Another important design feature of crimp type contact connectors is the connector insert wire sealing grommet. The grommet provides moisture sealing around each individual wire. The shell of a circular connector is a cylinder available in incremental sizes starting as small as .375 diameter up to 3.25 diameter and larger. The most common shell sizes are available in .0625 increments starting at shell size 8 (.50) to shell size 36 (2.25). Shell size may be determined by multiplying the shell size number by .0625. Shell size 24, for example, has a 1.50 outside diameter (24 x .0625 = 1.50). This nomenclature becomes significant, as backshells (accessories which attach onto the connector shell) must inter mate with the connector shell rear-end geometry. Connector and accessory manufacturers both use the term shell size to designate the size of their respective products.

Making Sense of Connector Part Numbers

Military standard connectors are organized under specification series numbers: MIL-C-5015, MIL-DTL-38999 and so on. The specification series number identifies the master document which explains everything about the particular connector family. The actual part numbers of connector components are designed to call out the physical connector type and its dimensional attributes. For example, a MIL-C-5015 receptacle connector designed to be mounted on a box would have a part number such as MS3402DS28-21PY. The number can be dissected as follows: The first 4 digits after the MS (Military Standard) designate the physical connector type, like so: 3400 - Wall mounted receptacle 3401 - In line receptacle 3402 - Box mount receptacle 3404 - Jam nut receptacle 3406 - Straight plug 3408 - 90 plug 3409 - 45 plug 3412 - Box mount receptacle with rear threads The single character which follows indicates the connector service class: D - High Shock K - Firewall L - High Temperature W - General Purpose The next character, S in our example, indicates the shell material; in this case stainless steel. The next two characters, 28 in our example, identify the shell size. The following pair of numbers, 21 in our example, identifies the contact arrangement. If this pair of characters is followed by an S, it indicates female-style (socket) contacts. If they are followed by a P, it indicates male contacts (Pin). The final character, Y in our example, indicates the choice of polarization keying. Thats all there is to it. While there are many part number complexities and nuances throughout the various MS connector families, they all follow the same basic approach to part number development.

International Standards IP Protection Classification

IEC Publication 60529 Classification of Degrees of Protection by Enclosures provides a system for specifying enclosures of electrical equipment on the basis of the degree of protection required. IEC 60529 does not specify degrees of protection against risk of explosions or conditions such as moisture (produced, for example, by condensation), corrosive vapors, fungus, or vermin. NEMA Standards Publication 250 does test for environmental conditions such as corrosion, rust, icing, oil, and coolants. For this reason, and because the tests and evaluations for other characteristics are not identical, the IEC enclosure classification designations cannot be exactly equated with NEMA enclosure Type numbers.

Mod 429 Space Grade Processing Information

1. Outgassing: What is outgassing and how does it affect connector selection? Is special processing required to meet outgassing requirements? What is Outgassing? Plastic and rubber materials give off gaseous molecules. For example, the smell inside a new car is caused by polymer outgassing. Heat and vacuum increase the rate of diffusion. In a spacecraft the gases coming off polymers can contaminate optical surfaces and instruments. The result is degraded performance. How is Outgassing Measured? The space industry has adopted a standardized test procedure, ASTM E 595, to evaluate out-gassing properties of polymers. Small samples of material are heated to 125 C. at a vacuum of 5 X 10-5 torr for 24 hours. Then the sample is weighed to calculate the Total Mass Loss (TML). The TML cannot exceed 1.00% of the total initial mass. During the test, outgassed matter condenses on a cooled collector plate. The quantity of outgassed matter is calculated to determine the Collected Volatile Condensable Material (CVCM). The CVCM cannot exceed 0.10% of the original specimen mass. Do All Connectors Require Special Outgassing Processing? No. Most connectors meet NASA outgassing requirements without special processing. 2. screening: What is NASA screening and what level of screening is required? What is NASA Screening? NASA specification EEEINST-002 provides instructions on selecting, screening and qualifying parts for use on NASA GSFC space flight projects. Table 2J in the NASA spec contains specific Inspection/ Test
Visual Inspection Mechanical Voltage (DWV) Insulation Resistance Low Level Contact Resistance Mating Force Contact/Wire Retention

inspection instructions for Nanominiature connectors. These screening requirements exceed the standard mil spec inspection levels. What Screening Level is Required for Space Applications? NASA defines three levels of screening: level 1 for highest reliability, level 2 for high reliability, and level 3 for standard reliability. Is Glenair NASA Certified? Yes. Meeting NASA requirements means not only inspecting per EEE-INST-002, but also building parts in accordance with NASA Technical Standard NASA-STD-8739.4 Crimping, Interconnecting Cables, Harnesses, and Wiring. Glenair fully meets these requirements and has obtained NASA certification. Our extra inspection steps reflect the fact that pre-wired connectors not only require best practices on the assembly floor, but also require thorough final electrical and mechanical testing.

3. Magnetic PerMeability: Are nonmagnetic connectors required? Spacecraft designers generally avoid the use of ferromagnetic materials, which can become magnetized and can interfere with sensitive instruments. Nano connectors have a maximum permeability of 2 mu. 4. cryOgenic exPOsure: Are Glenair connectors suitable for use at temperatures approaching -200 C. ? Most Glenair environmental connectors are rated to -55 C. Glenair has not performed testing below this temperature. EEE-INST-002 states ...experience has proven it is possible for (non-certified) connector types to be used successfully at cryogenic temperatures. It is recommended that connector samples should be subjected to five cycles of cryogenic temperature...(followed by examination for cracks and DWV). 5. Materials: Which materials are recommended for space flight? Cadmium plated shells are prohibited from space programs. Other plating materials are acceptable.

6. Wire cOrrOsiOn: M22759/33 irradiated Tefzel wire is preferred for space applications. What about corrosion problems caused by this wire? Does M22759/33 Wire Have an Outgassing Problem? Irradiated Tefzel wire is known to cause tarnishing and corrosion of metal parts in close proximity, usually in sealed bags. Both MILDTL-32139 and NASA EEE-INST-002 contain cautionary notes regarding this problem. Wire manufacturers have not been able to eliminate this problem. This corrosion problem is referred to as wire outgassing, which has led to confusion over the term outgassing. This problem has nothing to do with the ability of the wire to meet the TML and CVCM outgassing requirements of ASTM E595. M22759/33 irradiated Tefzel wire continues to be the wire of choice for spacecraft. This wire complies with outgassing requirements. Connectors with M22759/33 wire should not be stored in sealed bags for extended periods. New Unit Pack Minimizes Corrosion Glenair has adopted an inovative new packaging system to protect connectors from performance hindering corrosion. Metal shell connectors supplied wtih M22759/33 wire are now packaged as follows: the connector is wrapped in Teflon tape and placed in a ventilated sulpher-free paper envelope to ensure that your mission-critical component arrives in perfect order.

Outgassing Properties and Processing

Nonmetallic materials such as rubber, plastic, adhesives and potting compounds can give off gasses when subjected to a vacuum or high heat. The space industry has adopted a standardized test procedure, ASTM E 595, to evaluate outgassing properties of products that contain polymer materials. In the ASTM test, material samples are heated to 125 C at a vacuum of 5 X 10-5 torr for 24 hours. The test sample is then weighed to calculate the Total Mass Loss (TML), which may not exceed 1.00% of the total initial mass. Likewise the quantity of outgassed matter is weighed to determine the Collected Volatile Condensable Material (CVCM), which may not exceed 0.10% of the original specimen mass. For space grade applications, Glenair is able to offer both an 8 hour 400 bakeout process as well as a 24 hour 125 thermal vacuum outgassing process on connector products that must conform to NASA screening or other outgassing standards. Our experience has been that the simpler bakeout process is more than adequate to meet the ASTM E 595 benchmark of 1.00% TML and 0.10% CVCM. Glenair is well versed in supplying connector products that are optimized for use in space grade applications, and we supply MILDTL-38999 type compliant to EEE-INST-002, Table 2G, the recognized standard for space grade connectors. Section C2 Connectors and Contacts of NASA EEE-INST-002 provides guidelines for materials used in connectors for space .ight applications: Aluminum is a preferred material for connector components, and electroless nickel is the preferred finish. Beryllium copper is a preferred material for contacts. 50 microinch minimum gold plating is the preferred contact finish. LCP is a preferred material for dielectric insulating materials. Specify M for aluminum shells with electroless nickel finish.

1. Fluorosilicone rubber components such as O-rings and grommets exceed NASA outgassing limits. 2. NASA recommends outgassing processing to reduce outgassing to acceptable levels. 3. An inexpensive oven bakeout has better results than the more costly thermal vacuum outgassing. The higher temperature of the oven bakeout is more effective at removing volatile materials. However, both methods assure compliance with outgassing limits. 4. Glenair Mod 429 codes provide an easy ordering solution, whatever the outgassing option. Spacecraft designers generally avoid the use of ferromagnetic materials, which can become magnetized and can interfere with sensitive instruments. Aluminum shell connectors have a maximum permeability of 2 mu. Hermetic connector pins are iron alloy, a highly magnetic material. 5. Space programs sometimes need cryogenic connectors capable of withstanding temperatures as low as -270 C. D38999 connectors are rated to -65 C. Glenair does not have data to validate these connectors for cryogenic applications. EEE-INST-002 states ...experience has proven it is possible for (non-certified) connector types to be used successfully at cryogenic temperatures. It is recommended that connector samples should be subjected to five cycles of cryogenic temperature...(followed by examination for cracks and DWV).

The Smart Solution for Preventing Contact Damage and Extending the Service Life of Cable and Box Assemblies

Product Applications
Glenair Sav-Con Connector Savers are designed to protect connectors that are subject to repeated mating and unmating cycles. Sav-Con Connector Savers prevent costly repair or replacement of expensive connectors and cables while preserving the quality and integrity of connector performance. Sav-Con Connector Savers take the abuse of repeated connection cycles instead of black box or other equipment connectors. Equipment connectors that are mated and unmated frequently during manufacturing,

check-out phases and environmental test programs can be protected by Glenair Sav-Con Connector Savers at considerable savings in time and money. Glenair Sav-Con Connector Savers feature one-piece, non-removable pin/socket contacts for maximum reliability and minimum effect on circuit resistance. Each Glenair Sav-Con Connector Saver series meets the same durability requirements as the Military Specification series with which it mates. The mating portions of the pin-and-socket contacts are in strict compliance with the applicable Military Specification contacts used in each connector series.

The one-piece design adds resistance to a circuit equal to a mated pin and socket contact, thus it has little or no effect on sensitive circuits. When a Sav-Con Connector Saver is installed between a receptacle and a plug, the effective additional length is less than the length of an equivalent mated plug and receptacle. When using bayonet coupled Sav-Con Connector Savers, Glenair recommends our Lock Ring design feature in applications where large cable bundles may induce unwanted stress to the coupling mechanism and potential unwanted contact displacement.
