Current Carrying Comparison

RADSOK Technical Information

Low Contact Engagement/Separation Forces:
The hyperbolic lamella socket contact construction distributes normal forces over a high percentage of mating pin surface. This creates a smooth, even engagement effort. This force distribution also contributes to excellent performance in vibration applications with resistance to typical fretting corrosion.


Low Contact Resistance:
The large interface area between the socket lamella and pin surface results in very low contact resistance, enabling the RADSOK® contacts’ high current rating compared to traditional power contact designs. 


High Mating Cycle Durability:
RADSOK contacts with typical silver plating finishes have demonstrated the survival of 20,000 mating cycles. Even with continuous exposure to harsh environmental abuse (salt, sand, and high humidity). RADSOK contacts have been tested to maintain low contact resistance beyond 10,000 mating cycles.

Temper-Grip Technical Information

High Temperature Capability:
For use in high temperature (200 C+) applications, the Temper-grip socket has been tested to maintain current capability in high-temperature situations where standard mil-spec socket contacts can begin to relax.


“Napkin-Ring” Technology:
Proven design utilizing a stainless steel napkin ring to prevent the beryllium copper tines from “relaxing” at higher temperatures and maintaining a greater area of true contact in all situations to decrease resistance.

High Power 38999 Data Sheet
The High Power 38999 connector series incorporates two key technologies, RadSok and Temper-Grip High Current contacts, paired with the proven performance of the MIL-DTL-38999 connector series.
Radsok Technology Overview
RADSOK® technology is based upon a stamped and formed flat grid, uniquely twisted into a hyperbolic geometry to provide robust, high density contact to the mating pin contact.
P3D - 3D Printed Inserts and Rapid Prototyping
Utilizing groundbreaking in-house capability and industry-leading partners, Amphenol can design and manufacture a custom insert assembly in days, not weeks.
Matrix 38999 Product Data Sheet
Amphenol's Matrix 38999 series combines the best of the both 5015 and D38999 Military connectors. This new series uses Mil-Qualified inserts from Amphenol's Matrix 5015 series and combines them with the mechanical interface of D38999.
