Amphenol Aerospace's JT/LJT Series connectors are subminiature cylindrical connectors qualified to MIL-DTL-38999, Series I and II respectively. Developed for the aerospace industry, these connectors offer a lightweight, space-saving design with 5-key/keyway polarization and bayonet lock coupling for positive mating. They feature durable construction with impact-extruded or machined aluminum shells, rigid dielectric inserts, and fluorinated silicone interfacial seal wafers for electrical isolation. Available in a wide range of contact arrangements and sizes, they support various termination types including crimp, solder, PCB, wire wrap, coaxial, triaxial, and twinax. Optional high-temperature versions and N2O4 resistance are also available.
