LIGHT-WEIGHT, SPACE-SAVING DESIGNAmphenol’s JT series MIL-DTL-38999 series II miniature connectors offer high-density contact arrangements in a small size. They were designed for high-performance requirements, including military and commercial aviation applications. These connectors are environmentally-sealed and have a wide operating temperature range. Amphenol’s JT series connectors are intermateable with Souriau and all MIL-DTL-38999 connectors, and were formerly called MIL-C-38999. See our full list of Amphenol JT series features in the specifications below.

AMPHENOL JT SERIES FEATURES
- High-Reliability
MIL-DTL-38999 series II - JT style connectors are used in performance aircraft that demand reliable connections in some of the most rigorous environments. The connectors must perform flawlessly under wide temperature ranges, high vibrations, and be resistant to a vast array of contaminants.
- Low-Profile Connector Design
JT's require a fraction of the space needed to mate most other high-performance connectors, permitting use in areas that would be impossible for other mating systems.
- Light-Weight
Today's aircraft designs require connectors that are very light-weight. Saving weight on the connector systems allows the aircraft to carry more fuel, maximizing its range or payload-carrying capacity.
- High-Density Connectors
JT connectors offer up to 128 contacts per connector. Ideally-suited for the demands of today's digital electronics that are used on fly-by wire aircraft, advanced robotics, and critical industrial equipment.
- Operates at Extreme Temperatures
=
These connectors will operate in temperatures from -85°F to +392°F (-65°C to +200°C)
- Quick-Mating Coupling Systems
Three-point bayonet coupling nuts provide fast, one-third-turn connector mating. Mating is easily verified with an audible and tactile "click" and a bayonet pin sighting hole located in the coupling nut.
- Broad Range of Military and Commercial Accessories
Many military-standard endbells to MIL-C-85049 specifications and a wide array of cable termination styles are available. Straight, 45- and 90-degree endbells come in many styles from low-cost, standard clamp to shielded, environmentally-sealed.
- MIL-DTL-38999 Approved
JT's are fully-intermatable and intermountable with all other MIL-DTL-38999 series II connectors.

AMPHENOL JT SERIES CONNECTOR TOOLS
TG70 Strap Wrench The strap wrench is used to connect or disconnect coupling nuts in a confined space, or to tighten or loosen endbells without damaging the connector plating. A strap wrench also increases torque, allowing you to more easily mate or unmate a connector pair. Substitute tools, such as a pipe wrench or pliers, should never be used because of the high probability of severe damage to the connector plating or the coupling mechanism.
TG70 Strap Wrench TG69P Non-Marring Adjustable Endbell Pliers for Field Service
The TG69P pliers have resilient jaws and are used to tighten or remove endbells without damaging the connector plating. The pliers are adjustable and will accommodate all of the connector sizes in this catalog. Substitute tools, such as a pipe wrench or metal jaw pliers, should never be used due to the high probability of severe damage to the connector plating. Replacement jaws, part number G77015, are available.
600 Series Production System
The 600 series is a complete system for the proper assembly and torquing of connector endbells. The system includes a bench-mounted or hand-held torque wrench, plug and receptacle holders, and a range of endbell tightening tools. When used together, these tools provide the user with consistent endbell installations. Each item is shipped with detailed assembly instructions.

M85049/17

This EMI/RFI-shielding, environmentally-sealed endbell features a standard-style cable clamp with gland seal at the end of an extender-style backshell.
M85049/29

This EMI/RFI-shielding, non-environmentally-sealed endbell features a standard-style cable clamp.
Banding

M85049/85 M85049/86 M85049/87
Banding adapters utilize a band of metal that fastens and grounds cable shields to the outside of endbells. This method of terminating shields has advantages in that they typically use tools to tighten and trim the bands. These tools make the termination tight, repeatable, reworkable (if you make a mistake, just cut the band off and start again) and facilitates service. Banding adapters help lower the total applied cost by having simpler designs that have fewer parts with uncomplicated assembly procedures.
If the military-standard endbells don’t fit your needs, contact us and we will customize an endbell solution. Most of these customized endbells are typically assembled in 4-8 weeks or sooner!

AMPHENOL JT SERIES WIRE STRIPPING
Strip insulation from end of wire to be crimped. (See table for proper stripping dimensions.) Do not cut or damage wire strands.
All dimensions in inches (millimeters in parentheses)
AMPHENOL JT SERIES CONTACT CRIMPING
Correct
 Incorrect
STEP 1: Insert wire into rear of contact. Wire insulation must press against rear of contact. Wire must be visible through inspection hole.
STEP 2: M22520 series crimp tool and locator is recommended. Click here for choice of turret head and selection setting according to contact size, part number and wire gauge size.
STEP 3: Insert contact and wire into tool jaws. To crimp, squeeze handles together fully until ratchet releases and allows handles to expand; otherwise, contact cannot be extracted from tool jaws. Maintain slight insertion pressure on wire while crimping contact to wire.
AMPHENOL JT SERIES CONTACT INSERTION
STEP 1: Remove hardware from plug or receptacle and slip over wire bundle in proper order for reassembly.
STEP 2: Using proper plastic or metal insertion tool for corresponding contact, position wire in tip of the tool so that the tool tip presses against the contact shoulder.
STEP 3: Press tool against contact shoulder and, with firm and even pressure, insert wired contact and tool tip into center contact cavity.
STEP 4: When contact bottoms, a slight “click” can be heard as tines of metal retaining clip snap into place behind contact shoulder.
STEP 5: Remove tool and pull back lightly on wire to make sure contact is properly seated. Repeat operation with remainder of contacts to be inserted, beginning with the center cavity and working outward in alternating rows.
STEP 6: After all contacts are inserted, fill any empty cavities with wire sealing plugs. Reassemble plug or receptacle hardware.
AMPHENOL JT SERIES CONTACT EXTRACTION
STEP 1: Remove hardware from plug or receptacle and slide hardware back along wire bundle.
STEP 2: Using plastic or metal extraction tool with proper color code corresponding to contact size, place wire in tool.
STEP 3: Insert tool into contact cavity until tool tip bottoms against the contact shoulder, expanding clip retaining tines.
STEP 4: Hold wire firmly in tool and extract wired contact and tool. Repeat operation for all contacts to be extracted.
STEP 5: Fill any empty cavities with wire sealing plugs. Reassemble plug or receptacle hardware.
