INTERMATEABLE WITH ALL
38999-STYLE SERIES III CONNECTORS
ITT Cannon KJB 38999-Style Series III connectors offer high density contact arrangements in a lightweight miniature circular connector. These 38999-Style connectors have quick-mating, triple-lead threaded, self-locking coupling for high vibration applications, are environmentally sealed and operate across a wide temperature range in extreme environments. They feature high density layouts with up to 128 data connections and power contacts rated up to 23A.
The ITT Cannon KJB series was originally designed for military vehicles and are now industry standard aerospace and military connectors. They are intermateable with Souriau connectors and all 38999-Style Series III connectors.
