Multi-Channel Cylindrical Connectors with
Fiber Optics
MIL-DTL-38999 Series III, Tight Tolerance styles
Amphenol introduced the MIL-C-38999 Series III connector in the mid-1970’s.
Amphenol has continued since the 70’s to improve performance and reliability that makes this design of the 38999
Series III the connector of choice by system designers worldwide.
During the mid-1980’s the 38999 Series III connector was selected as the platform to use for the new MIL-T-29504
size 16 fiber optic termini.
Design improvement for fiber optics to metal clip retention system.
The introduction of MIL-T-29504 termini into a connector not designed for spring-loaded termini yielded the first
improvement of the basic 38999 for use with fiber optics. In 1987, Amphenol introduced the CF-52 series connec-
tor with a beryllium-copper retention clip for improved termini stability inside the connector insert.
Design improvements for fiber optics to tighter toler-
ances and integrated wave washers.
Through the 1990’s Amphenol has continued to modify
the design of the 38999 to improve the performance of
the connector when using fiber optic termini. The CF-50
series connector employs a modified master key and pre-
cision tooling to precisely align the insert cavities during
connector mating. The CF-50 also integrates a wave
washer in the coupling mechanism to reduce the possibil-
ity of connectors de-mating during periods of high vibra-
tion.
The illustration shows the key features of the MIL-
DTL-38999 CF-50 - The highest optical performance
connector.

The Ideal Choice for Fiber Optic Technology
• Meets or exceeds MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements
• EMI Shielding - solid metal to metal coupling, grounding fingers, electroless nickel plating, and thicker wall
• Termini Protection - recessed pins in this 100% scoop-proof connector minimize potential termini damage
• Corrosion Resistance - shells of stainless steel or cadmium over nickel plating withstand 500 hr. salt spray
• Vibration/Shock - operates under severe high temperature vibration, through 200°C
• Threaded coupling quickly and completely mates in one 360° turn of the coupling nut

Same high performance features as metal Tri-Start connectors, but also includes the following features:
• Lightweight - 17% – 70% weight savings
• Increased Corrosion Resistance - olive drab cadmium (175°C) and electroless nickel plating (200°C both
• Durability - 1500 couplings minimum (in reference to connector couplings, not termini)
