The Amphenol® Clutch-LOK™
The latest in MIL-DLT-38999, Series III Connector Technology |
| |
 |
| |
The Clutch-LOK™ Connector is designed especially for high vibration, harsh environments such as aircraft gas turbine engines.
Amphenol's unique clutch design means that you don't have to compromise the need for quick, smooth mating of plugs and receptacles in order to get increased uncoupling torque.
|
The Clutch-LOK™ actually tightens itself under severe vibration as shown in the following demonstration.

The movie will show:
- A size 9 Clutch-LOK™ plug connector partially mated (1/4 turn) to a standard MIL-DLT-38999 Series III receptacle
- A digital ohmmeter used to monitor continuity - notice the "L" which indicates an open circuit
- An orbital sander which generates up to 50g vibration
When vibration is induced you will see:
- The Clutch-LOK™ plug turn clockwise in the mating direction until the connectors are mated - "Watch the red line"
- Electrical Continuity

The New Amphenol Clutch-LOK™ provides the following additional benefits:
- High degree of differential torque
- Infinite free coupling and positive metal-to-metal bottoming with each mating
- No setting back to the next ratchet tooth
- Enhanced connector performance at affordable prices
- Completely intermateable with all existing MIL-DLT-38999 Series III connectors
- Global supply access
The Clutch-LOK™ connector is qualified to all MIL-DLT-38999 Series III specification requirements and is available with stainless steel shells and Class K firewall inserts.
The Amphenol Clutch-LOK™ is covered by U.S. patent # 6152753.

| Ruggedized VME64X Connectors |
 |
The Ruggedized VME64X connectors mount to standard VME64X cards and backplanes, but
have been designed to perform in a harsh military environment. The connector has a more rugged interface than standard connectors for improved vibration durability.
Features include metal shells, ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection, a robust low mating force contact system, high-data rate compatible electrical and optical PO connector options,and more!

| Ground Plane Connectors (MIL-DLT-38999 Type) |
| |
 For high speed data transmission, MIL-DTL-38999 type connectors are available with metal inserts to maintain a common ground plane for all triax, twinax or coax contacts contained in the connector. These electrical connectors are available for all MIL-DTL-38999 insert patterns using size 16, 10, 12, or 8 contacts.
Options include crimp termination and printed circuit tail contacts in either solder or compliant pin configurations. Shown in the photo is a special hybrid Ground Plane Connector with a standard Mil-Spec insert surrounded by a metal ground plane insert. This connector is designed for applications where the twinax contacts are required to be electrically bonded to a common ground while insulated M39029 signal or power contacts are also included. Applications include MIL-STD-1553B data bus as well as video, signal,
and multiplex transmission. Patent pending.
